AeroShell Grease 6 General Purpose Airframe Grease, 3kg Tin for Aircraft Bearings and Gearboxes
The wrong grease in an airframe bearing does not announce itself immediately, but the consequences show up at the next inspection or sooner. Supplied by JHEARs Aerospace, AeroShell Grease 6 is Shell's mineral oil grease with clay thickener, formulated for antifriction bearings, gearboxes, and plain bearings across an operating temperature range of minus 40 degrees Celsius to plus 121 degrees Celsius. Inhibited against oxidation and corrosion, with good water washout resistance and low running noise, this has been a staple general purpose airframe grease across GA and commercial fleets for decades because it performs consistently across the full range of scheduled bearing and lubrication tasks.
The 3kg tin format is sized for maintenance operations where airframe lubrication is a regular scheduled activity rather than an occasional top-off. If AeroShell Grease 6 is on your aircraft maintenance manual approved lubricant list, this is the product your documentation is calling for. A and P mechanics, line engineers, and flight schools maintaining their own training fleets keep it on the shelf and reach for it at every scheduled bearing service because it is the correct, approved product for the job.
Spec: AeroShell Grease 6 mineral oil airframe grease with clay thickener. 3kg tin. Operating temperature range minus 40 degrees Celsius to plus 121 degrees Celsius. Meets MIL-PRF-24139B, approved to MIL-PRF-24139A. Suitable for antifriction bearings, gearboxes, and plain bearings.
Who this is for: Aircraft mechanics and A and P technicians performing scheduled airframe bearing and gearbox lubrication, flight schools maintaining in-house lubrication programmes across their training fleet, owner-operators handling their own airframe lubrication during annual inspections, and MRO facilities where AeroShell Grease 6 is specified in maintenance documentation.
FAQ
Which aircraft types and components is AeroShell Grease 6 approved for?
AeroShell Grease 6 is approved for a wide range of airframe antifriction bearings, gearboxes, and plain bearings across general aviation and commercial aircraft. Always verify that AeroShell Grease 6 is listed as an approved lubricant in your specific aircraft maintenance manual or component service documentation before application.
Is AeroShell Grease 6 compatible with AeroShell Grease 7 or other AeroShell greases?
Mixing different grease types and thickener systems is generally not recommended without manufacturer guidance, as compatibility varies. Consult the Shell AeroShell technical data sheet and your aircraft maintenance manual before mixing greases or transitioning from one approved product to another.
How should the 3kg tin be stored to maintain product integrity between uses?
Store the tin in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and sources of heat or contamination. Ensure the lid is sealed securely after each use to prevent moisture ingress and oxidation of the grease surface. Check the product for signs of contamination or separation before each application.
Why should I purchase my aviation greases from JHEARs Aerospace?
At JHEARs Aerospace, we supply approved aviation lubricants and greases sourced and stored to maintain product integrity and specification compliance.
