EXXON / MOBIL® Jet Oil II
Aircraft-Type Gas Turbine Lubricant

Description

Mobil Jet Oil II gas turbine lubricant is a combination of a highly stable synthetic base fluid and a unique chemical additive package. The combination provides outstanding thermal and oxidative stability to resist deterioration and deposit formation in both the liquid and vapor phases, as well as excellent resistance to foaming.

The effective operating range of Mobil Jet Oil II is between -40° C and 204° C (-40° F and 400° F). Pour point is -54° C (-65° F). The product has a high specific heat in order to ensure good heat transfer from oil-cooled engine parts. In extensive laboratory testing and in-flight performance, Mobil Jet Oil II exhibits excellent bulk oil stability at temperatures up to 204° C (400° F). The evaporation rate at these temperatures is low enough to prevent excessive loss of volume.

Application

Mobil Jet Oil II is recommended for aircraft gas turbine engines of the turbo-jet, turbo-fan, turbo-prop, and turbo-shaft (helicopter) types in commercial and military service. It also is recommended for aircraft-type gas turbine engines in industrial or marine application.

Mobil Jet Oil II is approved against U.S. Military Specification MIL-L-23699C, as well as by the following engine and accessory manufacturers:

Engine Approvals

- Textron-Lycoming
- Allison Engine Co.
- General Electric Company
- Pratt & Whitney Group, United Technologies Corp.
- SNECMA
- Pratt & Whitney, Canada
- Rolls-Royce Limited
- Garrett Turbine Engine Co.

Accessory Approvals

- AiResearch - Auxiliary power units and air cycle machines
- Hamilton Standard Division, United Technologies Corp. - Starters
- Sundstrand Corp. - Constant-speed drives and integrated-drive generators
- Westinghouse Aerospace Electrical Division - Generators

Mobil Jet Oil II is compatible with other synthetic gas turbine lubricants meeting MIL-L-23699E. However, mixing with other products is not recommended because the blend would result in some loss of the performance characteristics of Mobil Jet Oil II. Mobil Jet Oil II is compatible with all metals used in gas turbine construction, as well as with F Rubber (Viton A), H Rubber (Buna N), and silicone seal materials.

Mobil Jet Oil II packaged in quart cans may be held safely in storage for 30 years. Product packaged in drums should be tested before being placed in service after two years from date of manufacture. Mobil can provide information on conducting these inspection tests.

Characteristics

Physical properties are listed in the table. Values not shown as maximum or minimum are typical and may vary slightly. Pertinent test properties are listed to show important performance characteristics of the oil.

Advantages

- Reduces formation of carbon and sludge deposits
- Reduces engine maintenance
- Lengthens gear and bearing life
- Lowers oil consumption

Health and Safety

WARNING! While no significant adverse effects on health are expected when properly handled and used, this product contains tricresyl phosphate (TCP) which, if taken internally, can cause paralysis.

Provide the following information to users:

- Do not use as medicine or food product.
- If swallowed, get medical Assistance. If medical assistance is not immediately available, induce vomiting
- After handling wash thoroughly and immediately with soap and water. Launder oily clothing before reuse. Discard oil-soaked shoes or boots.

We recommend that you obtain a Material Safety Data Bulletin and review it with users. For this bulletin, for additional technical information, or to identify the nearest U.S. Mobil supply source, call 1-800-662-4525.

A family holiday ruined

"When we boarded the aircraft we were all in excellent health. During the flight, my husband and I started feeling very light headed. We had head pain and felt very fatigued.
 
I could not control my bowels and was continuously in the lavatory...
 
About 48 hours after we arrived, we all developed severe flu like symptoms.
It got so bad that we had to seek medical attention and went to the emergency room at a Florida hospital ....
 
This has proven to be a great battle of red tape and ignorance. It has been an extreme mission and has demanded so much of me at a time when I am at my weakest.
 
 
To any passengers out there who have suffered ill health like this during and after flying, report it to the airline, the public health organizations, and anybody who will listen"

The Travel journalist..
 
I stumbled onto your site while attempting to find information on what has happed to me.  I inhaled fumes in the cabin while awaiting a gate for a prolonged period .. I was very sick upon leaving the plane and it escalated until I was hospitalized two weeks ago.  Now ..  I have a serious lung problem and fatigue that makes even doing the dishes difficult. ....  

The 'irony' in this is I write a travel column and this is not what my readers want to hear!"
