CASTROL BRAYCO 460

A turbine engine oil for older jet engines

As aircraft engines age, they need the highest quality turbine oils to reduce wear maximise efficiency while they are in operation. It is also vital to make sure you use a compatible product. The lubricant market changes frequently, as new innovations in engineering lead to products being regularly upgraded or replaced. This can make it difficult to shop for jet oils for older aircraft engines.

Castrol has formulated Brayco 460 for this purpose. It meets the specifications of MIL-PRF-6081E Grade 1010, and offers improved performance, outstanding protection and wear resistance, and reduced maintenance needs for engine turbines.

Thanks to its high performance in applications that demand low-temperature operation and good viscosity behaviour, Brayco 460 is versatile and is suitable for an extensive range of high-speed turbine applications, beyond jet engines that require a mineral oil base.

Choosing turbine oils

Choosing the right engine oil for a particular application is vital. It can reduce wear and extend the active service life of an aircraft engine, which in turn can reduce maintenance costs. Alternatively, the consequences of choosing the wrong product can be serious - ranging from the risk of damage while the aircraft is in operation, to incompatibility that could lead to malfunction. By investing in the right aviation lubricants for the job, you can not only guarantee technical compatibility but also ensure that your aeroplane engine delivers high performance throughout operation.

Often, the lifespan of an aircraft can be far longer than that of a lubricant product, and it can be difficult to maintain continuity when turbine engine oils are discontinued or upgraded. Broughton Lubricants has been in the business of engine oils and other lubricant products for over 100 years, and we have stayed at the cutting edge of the market throughout that time. We can advise you on products that will meet technical specifications, and also make you aware of any replacement products for the lubricants you used to use.
