Of 359 grease application points on a Boeing 737 - AeroShell Grease 33 lubricates all but 9 of them
Historically, aircraft maintenance operations had to carry several different greases for different lubrication needs. But then Shell developed AeroShell Grease 33 - a universal airframe grease. AeroShell Grease 33 is effective on virtually all airframe components. For those components where AeroShell Grease 33 is not suitable, AeroShell 22 will do the job. A complete grease range in two products.
Why use AeroShell Grease 33?
- Replacing the number of greases used on the aircraft with a common grease prevents misapplication of the wrong grease and damage to the aircraft
- Rhe much improved corrosion resistance and wear protection properties of ASG 33 help prevent expensive replacement of parts whilst also allowing Lubrication intervals to be extended
- replacing a range of greases with just one, reduces stock inventory and cost.
