From: "Bob Turner" I too had an oily liquid run out from a grease gun with Aeroshell 6 on a warm summer day. I cannot recall if I had stored it with the spring pulled back, or not. I did note that you can mix Aeroshell 6 with 5, if you placard the plane not to be operated in temperatures below some number that I forget. Also, like everyone else, I did a cursory search for the new recommended grease, and could not find any retail source. I did find that it cannot be mixed with Aeroshell. BTW, the cautions not to mix incompatible greases should be taken seriously. I still recall Alaskan Airlines loosing an MD80 just offshore from LAX after they had mixed greases on the horizontal stabilizer jack screw. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=499934#499934 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:59:31 PM PST US From: Kelly McMullen Subject: Re: RV10-List: Re: When to service the propeller? I know it goes against the grain of CSOB pilots, but a tube of aeroshell 6 is what?
