As every pilot knows, sitting at the controls in the cockpit or planning a flight path is only a small part of flying. The majority of the time and the most important work takes place on the ground, ensuring that the aircraft is fit to fly.
Engine maintenance and servicing is a large proportion of aviation and keeping everything well lubricated is imperative for a smooth flight. This is why at Flightstore we offer a wide range of high grade aircraft engine and piston oil to make sure that when you take to the skies your “well-oiled” machine will perform as it should.
A well-oiled machine
Whether flying is a hobby or your profession, reducing wear and tear on the engine can significantly reduce costs and this is where high performance aircraft oils such as Total and Shell aviation oil as well as the Lycoming oil we stock, really come into their element.
There is no room for compromise when it comes to choosing turbine or piston oil, which is why we only stock branded recognised aircraft oil at Flightstore. These include:
Shell aviation oils (Aeroshell oils)

AeroShell Oil 100 is a straight mineral oil blended from selected high viscosity index base oils. This oil does not contain any additives except for very small amounts of pour point depressant (which aids to improve fluidity at
very low temperatures) and an anti-oxidant. It is approved for all aviation
piston engines of civil aircraft when the use of an oil not containing a
dispersant additive is required; however, it should also be used during the
break-in of a new aviation piston engine or those recently overhauled.
AeroShell Oil 100 is produced to meet fully the SAE specification J-1966
(Grades SAE 30, 40, 50 and 60 respectively). Furthermore, it has military
qualification approval and is listed on the Qualified Products List (QPL)
issued by the US Navy and on the Technically Acceptable Products List (TAPL)
issued by the UK Ministry of Defence. The blending plants employed to
manufacture this oil also holds the approval of the specification authorities
and this ensures that the high quality standard is always maintained.

Aeroshell Oil W 15 - W50 is a premium semi-synthetic multigrade ashless dispersant oil specifically developed for aviation piston engines. It is a special blend of a high quality mineral oil and synthetic hydrocarbons with an advanced additive package that has been specifically formulated for multigrade applications.
The combination of non-metallic anti-wear additives and selected high viscosity index mineral and synthetic base oils, give exceptional stability, dispersancy and anti-foaming performance. The advanced additive package in AeroShell W 15W-50 provides excellent protection to engines operating at extreme ambient temperatures.
The ashless anti-wear additive package provides exceptional wear protection for camshafts and lifters and other wearing surfaces. AeroShell W 15W-50 has become very popular amongst engine manufacturers and operators alike. In order to cater for those Lycoming engines that need improved load carrying, the Lycoming LW 16702 antiwear additive has been incorporated into the formulation thus eliminating the need for supplemental additive addition.

AeroShell Oil W100 is an ashless dispersant oil specifically developed for aviation piston engines. It combines non-metallic additives with selected high viscosity index base oils to give exceptional stability, dispersancy and anti-foaming performance. No general rule exists for every engine type when choosing the correct grade of oil; however, based on the average ambient outside temperature at engine start-up the most common grades are SAE 40, SAE 50 which equates to AeroShell Oil W80 & W100 respectively.
