Gearbox Oil Additive

Orright Russy,You spotted my deliberate error. Good boy.Hey Muz, I note that the letter says that ASRA was advised etc, etc. Why wasn"t this passed on to the membership please??Waddles.

[louww]

Gd day Al, the advise was indeed passed on. Pls follow this link, http://www.asra.org.au/smf/index.php?topic=4358.0. It was issued on April last year by M. Barker. Lou

interestring stuff all this oil. we just had a 205 lt drum of synforce hydraulic oil delivered to work [not the first one] but now i"m noticing more after this post. it has on the label. PREFILTERED TO 3 MICRON.

[louww]

Gd day Tony, you may like to google "hydrocracked base oil". There are many information on it. Very interesting indeed!. Lou

Gents,It seems that I have shot myself in the foot (again) and acknowledge Lou"s advice re the Autoflight gearboxes. A copy of the letter Muz posted appears in the 2012 Autumn edition of the GN. My feeble excuse can only be that it was not in the format I expected and I glossed over it rather than copy and file it as an AA.I aplolgise to Muz and Mark, our Tech Manager for my oversight.Guess I"ll just crawl back under my rock!Waddles.

Tony,Sometimes I think they re-word the label to justify the the price rise.

Waddles,When you find that rock, it better be big enough for two, as I only saw the attachment once Lou pointed it out. It all works out in the endRegards Matt

[Waddles]

Always willing to share Matt.Waddles.

"stand up on his rock"..................just get a bigger rock so he can"t mozzy out from under it. ;D ;D( like the way we spell aplogise ol pal.........geez, thought i was bad

[tonydenton]

a while back I thought I was happy with the oil and additive I was using in my autoflight box. it did seem to run a bit hotter than my previous rotax box and it also had an oil leak from the rear main seal from new.[ so I wasn"t totally happy with the gearbox it at all ] so after all the talk with waddles box I bought a bottle of penrite brand trans oil 75w-90. it comes in a 2.5 lt bottle which was the contributing factor. it was due for it"s first oil change . all I did was change the oil and i"m happy to say that just going on feeling it with my hand after a flight it definitely seems cooler
