3 Turbo Oil 2389 Introduction While the changing of our label for turbo oil is relatively new, our experience in lubricating turbine engines is not. In 1949 the Research Division, which was initially responsible for the development of our turbo oils, helped turn the vision of gas turbine powered flight into the reality we accept for granted today. By developing the first synthetic oil that could be used successfully in gas turbine engines, much wider fields to the aircraft designer were opened. This position of leadership has never been relinquished and you can depend on us just as you did in BPTO 2389 BP Turbo Oil (BPTO) 2389 is an advanced gas turbine lubricant that has a viscosity of 3 99 C (210 F) which meets or exceeds the requirements of U.S. Military Specification MIL-PRF-7808 Grade 3 and incorporates a level of technology from Type II (5cSt) commercial turbine lubricants. Product description BPTO 2389 is a low viscosity gas turbine oil offering exceptional cold start capability. Many large commercial airlines use BPTO 2389 in their auxiliary power units (APUs) because of the reliability it affords this equipment when starting after long, cold soaks at altitude. BPTO 2389 is the only MIL-PRF-7808 Grade 3 qualified oil that is fully approved in all Honeywell and Hamilton Sundstrand APUs. BPTO 2389 is formulated from synthetic basestocks and advanced technology additives to provide the combined thermal and oxidation stability properties of commercial Type II lubricants with the low temperature fluidity characteristics of a 3 centistoke oil. It also has load carrying ability equal to or better than other qualified MIL-PRF-7808 Grade 3 oils. 3

4 Advanced APU Performance Oil By using BPTO 2389 your airline can meet the requirements from regulatory agencies for ETOPS operations. As an advanced APU performance oil it improves performance during cold starts and creates a more reliable operation. Exceeding operational requirements BPTO 2389 is approved for use in all APUs. However, OEMs recognise that its performance exceeds operational requirements, giving them the confidence to use BPTO 2389 in testing applications for the next generation of aircraft. Low temperature viscosity In low temperatures good lubrication is critical in applications such APUs and some aircraft accessories. Reduced viscosity can have a dramatic impact on performance and cold-start reliability in these cases. BPTO 2389 offers exceptional performance in these scenarios, offering significantly better viscosity at low temperatures than Type II oils. Viscosity, cst (ASTM D445) BPTO 2389 provides significant cold temperature starting margin 100,000 Condition generally used to certify cold start capability 90,000 80,000 70,000 60,000 50,000 40,000 Typical AS5780/ MIL-PRF oil product BPTO 2389 (MIL-PRF-7808, Thicker grade3) 30,000 20,000 Thinner 10, Temperature ( F) Excellent load carrying BPTO 2389 provides load carrying ability well in excess of requirements established by the engine and equipment manufacturers as measured in the Ryder Gear Test. This ensures the long life of bearings, gears, and other highly loaded lubricated surfaces under normal operating conditions. Exceptional cleanliness One of the characteristic advantages of BPTO 2389 is the minimum formation of varnish or sludge deposits. Long periods of severe operation are possible without the danger of scavenge pump screen plugging or the corrosion that often accompanies excessive deposits. High bulk stability BPTO 2389 has a high resistance to physical or chemical change resulting from oxidation. This permits long periods of severe operation without significant increase in viscosity or total acidity, the two principal indicators of product oxidation. Available worldwide Air BP Lubricants uses a robust global distribution network, which allows us to ship BPTO 2389 around the world. We also offer a global team of aviation lubricant experts to support all Air BP Lubricants. Long shelf life The shelf life of BPTO 2389 is ten years or more when stored in original, unopened quart cans under acceptable conditions, such as away from extreme heat and moisture. Drummed product (including 55 gallon drums and five gallon pails) has an expected shelf life of at least three years. Shelf life can be increased significantly with careful attention to storage conditions. Please contact your Air BP Lubricants representative if you have any questions about product usability. MIL and DEF. What s the difference? The MIL-PRF-7808 and DEF STAN qualified oils are similar in properties and applications. The DEF STAN oil was developed for older British jet engines and is based on diester chemistry. MIL-PRF-7808L is the current standard used in most military jet engine applications requiring a 3 cst oil and is based on polyol ester chemistry. Both oil types are used in APUs due to their excellent low temperature fluidity. Oils based upon diester chemistry were originally qualified under the MIL-PRF-7808 specification until the MIL-PRF-7808J revision (issued in 1982). This doubled the duration of the 200 C oxidation test from 48 to 96 hours, thus removing the diester-based products in favour of the more stable polyol ester-based products. 4

Testing beyond aviation industry requirements. The jet engine presents one of the most demanding and stressful environments for lubricants. During the design, development and testing stages for a new oil, many industry standard tests assess future performance. Air BP Lubricants considers these tests to be considerably removed from real-life jet engine conditions. History supports this view with instances of new oils, which have passed all the required industry tests, performing very differently and unexpectedly in service. That s why our tests go well beyond aviation industry requirements. Product sample procedures and handling The base purpose of analysing product samples is to help solve or define a problem that may be related to the performance of a lubricant. This means the sample size and handling procedures may vary with the nature of the suspected problem and with the analytical techniques required. Experience has enabled us to develop standardised procedures that are applicable in many instances. 5

6 Health and safety precautions Health studies have shown that under normal conditions of use, turbo oil presents a low risk to human health. The major health risk from exposure to turbo oil is temporary irritation of the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Temporary irritation is a common hazard of most petroleum hydrocarbons and synthetic lubricants, like turbo oil. Irritation occurs when product is applied directly to the eyes, repeatedly to the skin, or when high levels of vapors or mist are inhaled. Because sensitivity to irritation can vary from person to person, direct contact with the eyes and skin, and inhalation of vapors or mist should be minimized. Prolonged and repeated skin contact with turbo oil can also cause temporary dermatitis. Because the vapor pressure of turbo oil is very low, generation of vapor under ambient temperature conditions is unlikely. At elevated temperatures, however, product vapor may be generated at concentration levels sufficient to cause irritation, particularly in poorly ventilated areas or in confined spaces. If this occurs, or if a mist of turbo oil is generated, precautions should be taken to avoid inhaling vapor or mist at concentrations above the exposure guidelines specified on the product Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Prolonged over-exposure to vapors or mist could cause headache, light-headedness, dizziness, and potentially unconsciousness, but normal conditions of use will not produce these effects. Turbo oil should never be siphoned by mouth. However, if the oil is swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting, but seek medical advice immediately to guard against the hazard of aspirating oil into the lungs. While the oil is not highly toxic when swallowed, lung aspiration can result in chemical pneumonia that may not occur for some time. In the event of fire or leakage of product onto an extremely hot surface which causes turbo oil to burn, emission of fumes and combustion products that are potentially irritating, noxious, and toxic may occur, such as aldehydes and carbon monoxide. Take precautions to avoid and/or minimize exposure under these conditions. Use supplied oxygen if necessary. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from You can protect yourself from routine turbo oil-related hazards by using appropriate engineering controls and work practices, and by wearing proper eye protection, gloves and clothing. Additional important health and safety information for this product is provided on the MSDS, which is available from your BP representative. The exposure guidelines found on the MSDS should always be followed. 6

7 Quality control BPTO 2389 is blended in batches with each batch composed of the identical chemicals, in the same proportions, used in all previous batches. Approximately 22 tests are performed on each batch to evaluate the physical, chemical and performance characteristics of the product. Historically, the batch-to-batch variations are within the limits of test repeatability. As each batch is prepared, a quantity of product is set aside in sealed containers. Periodically, a container is opened and tested to ensure that no change has occurred in the physical or chemical properties as a result of time. Customers can enhance the product storage stability life by using first-in, first-out inventory procedures and maintaining the oil under normal storage conditions (indoors protected from excessive heat). Consult website for shelf life recommendations. It is suggested that oil that has been exposed to extremes of high temperature and humidity in storage be retested. Future outlook While the outlook for continuing excellent performance from BPTO 2389 is bright, our research continues to develop and evaluate new oils aimed at providing even greater value to the world s airlines and military agencies. Through continuous monitoring of product performance and technological developments, BP associates anticipate being able to provide synthetic turbo oils that will satisfy the most critical needs of the aviation industry.
