AEROSHELL FLUID 4 (55 GALLON DRUM)

AeroShell Fluid 4 is a mineral hydraulic oil with very good low temperature characteristics and capable of operating over a wide temperature range. AeroShell Fluid 4 is composed of a mineral oil base stock and a complex additive package which results in a product with excellent low temperature flow and anti-wear properties, exceptional antifoam characteristics, and excellent oxidation stability. AeroShell Fluid 4 is dyed red.

Main Applications

AeroShell Fluid 4 is intended for use as a hydraulic fluid inundercarriage retraction mechanisms, flap jacks and control
mechanisms, brakes, shock absorbers, automatic pilots, oleo legs, tail wheels, servo units, etc. AeroShell Fluid 4 is also
suitable for lubricating de-icing pumps and gearboxes.

AeroShell Fluid 4 should be used in systems with synthetic rubber components and must not be used in systems
incorporating natural rubber. The latter systems require castor base fluids with which AeroShell Fluid 4 is not
interchangeable.

AeroShell Fluid 4 is compatible with AeroShell Fluids 31, 41,51, 61 and 71, although it is not recommended that AeroShell
Fluid 4 is used in systems that require the use of a super clean fluid nor should it be mixed with super clean fluids
for operational reasons.

Chlorinated solvents should not be used for cleaning hydraulic components which use AeroShell Fluid 4. The residual solvent contaminates the hydraulic fluid and may lead to corrosion.
