AeroShell Oil W80 Plus Aircraft Engine Oil 1 Quart
Enhanced engine protection with the proven characteristics of a single-grade aviation oil. AeroShell Oil W80 Plus is a premium SAE 40 ashless dispersant oil developed for suitable four-stroke aircraft piston engines.
It incorporates the anti-wear and anti-corrosion additive technology used in AeroShell Oil W 15W-50, offering additional protection while retaining the characteristics of a single-grade lubricant.
What Makes AeroShell W80 Plus Different?
Compared with conventional AeroShell W80, the Plus formulation includes an enhanced additive package designed to protect critical engine components against wear and corrosion.
This makes AeroShell W80 Plus particularly attractive to aircraft owners who prefer a single-grade oil but want the benefits of additional engine protection.
Enhanced Wear Protection with Lycoming LW 16702
The formulation incorporates the Lycoming LW 16702 anti-wear additive.
This additive helps protect highly loaded engine components, including camshafts and lifters, against wear.
Its enhanced load-carrying characteristics help reduce metal-to-metal contact under demanding operating conditions.
Protection Against Rust and Corrosion
Aircraft piston engines may remain inactive between flights, making internal corrosion a concern.
The advanced additive system in AeroShell W80 Plus helps form a protective barrier on critical metal surfaces.
This is particularly beneficial for aircraft that are not operated daily, although proper engine preservation procedures remain essential during extended storage.
Ashless Dispersant Technology
AeroShell W80 Plus uses ashless dispersant additives to help keep contaminants suspended and control deposit formation.
This supports engine cleanliness and efficient lubrication during normal operation.
SAE 40 Single-Grade Performance
AeroShell Oil W80 Plus is an SAE 40 single-grade aviation oil.
Shell identifies an ambient air temperature range of approximately -17°C to +21°C for this grade. The applicable viscosity must always be selected according to the engine manufacturer's requirements.
Unlike AeroShell Oil W 15W-50, W80 Plus is not a multigrade oil.
