Turbine Oil 560 overcomes the problems associated with using old technology turbine oils in new engines and will maintain a cleaner engine, providing improved load carrying capacity. AeroShell 560 is a high performance, low coking 5 mm2/s synthetic hindered ester oil incorporating a carefully selected and finely balanced combination of additives to improve thermal and oxidation stability. Which reduces turbine engine maintenance costs and prolongs bearing life in both new and existing engines.

In order for military authorities to take advantage of this better performance in military engines the specification MIL-PRF-23699 was re-written to include a "High Thermal Stability" (HTS) grade as well as the Standard (STD) and Corrosion Inhibited (C/I) grades. Turbine Oil 560 is fully approved as an HTS oil. With effect from January 1st 2002, AeroShell Turbine Oil 560 has been manufactured with an improved formulation to further enhance its anti-coking performance.
