Lubricating oil 10W30 C-013 (J 2362 or MIL-L-46152[OLD])
Hey All,
On my Bell 206A I have an older/optional main rotor head with the pillow block reservoirs. It specs 10W30 C-013 in the consumables list. Both Specs J2362 and the older Mil-L-46152 come up easily in a search, but I am wondering what lubricant oil you guys would use. I'd like to have some on hand as they are prone to some seepage sometimes. Thanks! Rick |

That might sound unusual but manufacturers used to specify commercial rather than aviation oils for some applications. An example being the Hughes 300. The gearbox oil was a commercial EP90 and the engine driveshaft grease was Shell Alvania which was used to grease the turntables on articulated trucks. I would say that any oil that meets the spec purchased locally will do. I would agree with the above that converting to grease would be a benefit. |
