Hi all, Is there anyone who has the right kind of information about different aircraft lubricants, actually I was using AEROSHELL FLUID 41 and am confused about it. So could you please guide me which brand is best for super performance, and a little information about mineral oil or ashless dispersant. Thanks in advance

From the fluid, I am guessing that this is an aviation hydraulic system. Can you elaborate on the craft and what recommendations the OEM has for the fluid? The Fluid 41 just seems to be a "super clean" mineral oil with a pretty decent additive package (from what I could tell from the technical data sheets).

We use Aeroshell Fluid 41 and find it one of the cleanest lubricants out there. It's also comaptible with AeroShell Fluids 4, 31, 61 and LGF.
