type II turbine oil. Most turbine oils meet this type II specification and are made with the following characteristics: 1. Vapor phase deposits—carbon deposits formed from oil mist and vapor contact with hot engine surfaces. 2. Load-carrying ability ... provides for heavy loads on the bearing systems of turbine engines.

Oil Systems The engine oil system performs several important functions: • Lubrication of the engine’s moving parts • Cooling of the engine by reducing friction • Removing heat from the cylinders • Providing a seal between the cylinder walls and pistons • Carrying away ... contaminants Figure 7-17. Wet-sump oil system. Reciprocating engines use either a wet-sump or a dry-sump oil system. In a wet-sump system, the oil is located in a sump that is an integral part…

This preservative oil should be removed at end of the first 25 hours of operation. When adding oil during the period when preservative oil is in the engine, use only aviation grade straight mineral oil or ashless dispersant oil ... required, of the viscosity desired. If ashless dispersant oil is used in a new engine, or a newly overhauled engine, high oil consumption might possibly be experienced. The additives in some of these ashless dispersant oils may retard the break…
