Fluids and Preservatives

AeroShell Fluid 2XN

Engine Preservative Concentrate

AeroShell Fluid 2XN is a corrosion preservative concentrate for protecting infrequently used engines. It uses an ashless anti-corrosion additive package and highly refined mineral base oils to protect internal engine sufaces from the Effects of humidity. It is also designed to neutralize the acidic by-products of oil oxidation and combustion.

AeroShell Flud 2XN can be used neat to long-term storage, but it is typically mixed with one part AeroShell Fluid 2XN to three parts fresh AeroShell Oil 100 to create an inhibited oil. It can also be sprayed undiluted on piston-engine exhaust ports, Rocker arms and accessories to provide additional protection.

Detailed instructions for inhibiting piston engines are given in specification MIL-E-6059A (inactive) and in the relevant engine manufacturer´s publication.

Approvals

• AeroShell Shock Strut Fluid – a extreme-pressure, preservative mineral hydraulic fluid

*only available in Americas

For some types of aircraft proprietary non-inflammable fluids (phosphate ester type) of non-petroleum origin are required. Shell companies may be able to supply Skydrol 500B-4 and LD-4 phosphate ester fluids against known demand.
