Hi,
As far as I know, the listed lubricant to use in Yak-50/52 air systems is Fluid
132-25 which is a silicon-based fluid and still available in the RF although
only in 205 litres which is more than anyone would ever need (if you could obtain
it!). Borrowing someone else's research, the closest Western approximation
they found is Dow Corning Xiameter PMX-200 Silicone Fluid which is very close
in composition and viscosity. I use this exclusively as the best alternative,
I would NEVER put any grease, mineral oil or mineral oil based or indeed, any
other lubricant whether it be PTFE based or whatever, inside the air system
IN ANY PLACE for ANY REASON! The exception being a good sticky anti-corrosion
coating on the inside of the air bottles but none of this can enter the air
system once 'set'.
All my air jacks and uplock releases are manually lubricated with PMX annually.
Thats what I do anyway. Cheers, J.
