Aeroshell Fluid 41

Technical Data Sheet
AeroShell Fluid 41
AeroShell Fluid 41 is a mineral hydraulic oil manufactured to a very high level of cleanliness, and possesses
improved fluid properties. AeroShell Fluid 41 contains additives which provide excellent low temperature fluidity
as well as exceptional anti-wear, oxidation - corrosion inhibition and shear stability. In addition metal de-activators
and foam inhibitors are included in this high viscosity index fluid to enhance performance in hydraulic
applications. AeroShell Fluid 41 is capable of wide temperature range operation.
AeroShell Fluid 41 is dyed red.
Main Applications
Specifications, Approvals & Recommendations
AeroShell Fluid 41 is intended as an hydraulic fluid in all

modern aircraft applications requiring a mineral hydraulic
fluid. AeroShell Fluid 41 is particularly recommended where
use of a "superclean" fluid can contribute to improvements
in component reliability, and can be used in aircraft

*Superclean grades
The British specification DEF STAN 91-48 covers two grades (normal and superclean) of mineral hydraulic fluid which differ
only in their cleanliness limits. AeroShell Fluid 41 is manufactured to meet the superclean requirements and thus it also
meets the requirements of the normal grade.
