3 BP Turbo Oil 2197 Built on more than 40 years of experience with industry leading products, BPTO 2197 is designed to exceed the demands of current and future jet engines. With more than 250 million engine/accessory hours of proven and trusted performance which has made BPTO 2197 the oil of choice for airlines choosing to operate their fleets on High Performance Capability (HPC) oils. It was the first oil approved to AS5780A specification and meets all the requirements of AS5780 HPC Class. Approved by all leading engine manufacturers, BPTO 2197 is qualified to MIL-PRF High Thermal Stability (HTS) Class including elastomer compatibility and it is by far the most widely used HTS fleet oil in the world. BPTO 2197 is manufactured in our own facility ensuring worldwide quality and consistency of this globally available product. A full list of approvals is available on request. Improved reliability BPTO 2197 brings you exceptional performance which leads to extended on-wing engine life and improved reliability. The ability of BPTO 2197 to maintain very low levels of deposition under severe thermal stress leads to significant improvements in engine cleanliness compared with all other commercially available oils. BPTO 2197 is recognized as a problem solver for high severity engines i.e. PW JT8D-200, Trent 700 and V2500. Deposition is reduced Liquid Deposition: BPTO 2197 vs. STD 6 This demonstrated increased cleanliness can be seen in exacting laboratory testing (see Deposition is reduced chart) and is reflected in significantly improved engine bearing chamber cleanliness, particularly in modern high temperature, high bypass turbofan powerplants. Benefits of this are virtually eliminating oil coking and plugged filters, and hence oil coking-related delays, fewer diverted flights and ultimately fewer in-flight shut downs (IFSDs). Your engines spend more time in the air and less time on the ground. Improved reliability also means less resources are required to resolve preventable unplanned maintenance. The end result? Less disruption for you and your customers.

These testing capabilities set BP apart from competition and provide the very highest level of confidence for customers when using our products in the ever-demanding environments within the engine. Pioneering lubricant testing beyond aviation industry requirements. The jet engine presents one of the most demanding and stressful environments for lubricants for several interrelated reasons including operating temperatures extremes, lubricating system design, aircraft operation profiles and maintenance practices. During the design, development and testing stages for a new oil, many aviation industry standard tests are mandated, aimed at assessing future performance in a jet engine. Despite this gamut of testing, BP considers these tests to be considerably removed and incomplete in terms of simulating jet engine conditions. Indeed, history does support this viewpoint with instances where new oils have passed all the required industry tests yet performed very differently and unexpectedly in service. Coker Mister live test data Coker Mister Test Section 4

5 Coker Mister Given the credibility gap between industry tests and inservice performance, we developed an additional testing capability that offers a much closer simulation of in-service conditions based on the No.5 bearing chamber of the P&W JT8D-200 severe in terms of thermal stress. The result is the Coker Mister a high temperature, dynamic lubricant deposition test rig unique to BP and the industry. Offering the best and closest in-service simulation possible, it has been used extensively in the development of new oils such as BPTO 2197 and for evaluating other commercial oils. The proven success of BPTO 2197 is solely attributable to the testing undertaken in this test rig during its development. The Coker Mister test chamber is rated and ranked following a 72 hr test program covering many cycles simulating takeoff, cruise, reverse thrust on landing, taxiing and shut-down (with heat soak effect). All carbonaceous deposits are weighed and the residual oil after test is filtered and deposits weighed. Very clear coking propensity differentiation is observed between STD/SPC and HTS/HPC lubricant types and more importantly, clear differentiation within classes. HLPS One of a large number of industry standard tests we have to undertake as part of the development and approval process is the Hot Liquid Process Simulator (HLPS) test which again measures deposition characteristics of an oil. Typical test duration is 40 hrs but experience has shown that by extending the test to 80 hrs, a much more significant performance differentiation is observed characterized by increased deposits on the tube. This extension of test duration is important as the results provide great insight into likely performance of the lubricant either in a higher severity turbine engine (more heat stress on the oil) or after prolonged use in a less severe turbine engine. The HLPS chart clearly shows that performance differentiation can easily be observed between lubricant classes (HPC vs SPC) after 40 hrs but comparing within the same class (i.e.hpc), the extended test duration provides a much better comparison of performance. grams deposit or filterable deposits Cyclic Coker Mister Performance (520 F / 560 F soak back simulation cycles) End plate mass Liquid side mass Vapor side mass Filtered deposits gram per liter number of data points for each oil formulation BPTO New HPC Product 4 SPC Class 17 milligrams Deposit HLPS Dynamic Coking Performance (SAE ARP 5996 at 375 C - Extended Duration) 20 hour deposit mass 40 hour deposit mass 60 hour deposit mass 80 hour deposit mass BPTO 2197 New HPC Product SPC Class Test chambers: At 40 hrs: End plates: Filters: At 80 hrs: 5
