Lubrication Best Practices & Maintenance Guidelines

Engine Oil Management

Proper engine oil management ensures optimal protection and regulatory compliance:

• Oil Change Intervals: Follow aircraft and engine manufacturer recommendations for oil change intervals based on operating hours, calendar time, and operating conditions.
• Break-In Procedures: Use straight mineral oils during initial break-in periods as specified by engine manufacturer or overhaul facility, typically 25-50 hours before switching to ashless dispersant oils.
• Oil Consumption Monitoring: Track oil consumption rates to identify potential engine issues, recognizing that new or overhauled engines typically exhibit higher consumption during break-in.
• Grade Consistency: Maintain consistent oil grade selection throughout engine operating life unless changing for specific operational reasons or temperature conditions.
• Oil Analysis Programs: Consider periodic oil analysis to monitor engine condition, detect wear metals, and identify potential issues before they result in component failure.

Grease Application Techniques

Proper grease application ensures effective lubrication and prevents over-greasing issues:

• Lubrication Points: Follow aircraft maintenance manual lubrication schedules identifying specific grease points, application quantities, and service intervals.
• Grease Compatibility: Avoid mixing different grease types which may result in incompatibility, reduced performance, or premature grease breakdown.
• Application Methods: Use appropriate grease guns and fittings, applying grease slowly to prevent seal damage or over-pressurization of sealed bearings.
• Purging Procedures: When changing grease types, thoroughly purge old grease from bearings and fittings before introducing new grease specification.
• Storage Conditions: Store greases in sealed containers away from contaminants, maintaining temperature conditions specified by manufacturer.

Storage & Handling Requirements

Proper lubricant storage and handling maintains product quality and prevents contamination:

• Temperature Control: Store oils and greases within manufacturer-specified temperature ranges, typically between 0°C and 40°C, protecting from freezing and excessive heat.
• Contamination Prevention: Keep containers sealed when not in use, use clean transfer equipment, and prevent water ingress which can compromise lubricant performance.
• Container Marking: Clearly label all containers with product specification, batch number, and receipt date to maintain traceability and support inventory rotation.
• Shelf Life Management: Implement first-in-first-out inventory rotation, monitoring shelf life limitations specified on product documentation.
• Dispensing Practices: Use dedicated dispensing equipment for each lubricant type, preventing cross-contamination between different specifications.
