Someone in the know sort me out please!

The S-92 builds upon the UH-60 Blackhawk successful design.

Does the UH-60 use a "jellied" type MGB lubricant....rather than a standard type oil? Does not the S-92 use a standard type liquid lubricant? Would the jellied type cause problems in colder climates such as the North Sea as compared to say Nigeria where it is "hot"?

As a change in oil temp would be considered a secondary indication of MGB loss of pressure or loss of lubrication......does the location (currently) of the oil temp sensor(s) play a role in preventing such an indication by the current procedures. (Operating the by-pass within 5 Seconds for example?)

Simply put....is the oil temp sensor in the best position within the system?
