Lubricants used in aviation can be classified into three categories:
Penetrating Oil is a top-of-the-line lubricant made from a combination of oils and solvents. It's been designed to quickly and easily loosen seized and rusted parts.

Composition: These oils are derived from refined petroleum and have been the traditional choice for aircraft engines for many decades.
Characteristics: Mineral oils offer good lubrication and basic detergency properties. They are typically less expensive than synthetic oils.
Applications: Mineral oils are often used in older reciprocating engines, particularly during engine break-in periods after an overhaul. They may also be suitable for certain low-performance applications.
Composition: These artificially created oils offer superior performance compared to mineral oils. They are engineered to possess specific properties tailored for demanding aviation applications.
Characteristics: Synthetic oils offer excellent viscosity control across a wide temperature range, providing optimal lubrication during cold starts and hot operations. They boast superior oxidation resistance, detergency, and dispersancy, promoting cleaner engines and longer oil change intervals.
Applications: Synthetic oils are preferred for most modern reciprocating engines, especially high-performance aircraft operating in extreme environments. They offer extended engine life and improved fuel efficiency .
Composition: These oils combine mineral and synthetic base stocks, offering a balance between cost and performance.
Characteristics: Semi-synthetic oils offer improved performance over mineral oils while remaining generally less expensive than full synthetics. They provide good viscosity control, detergency, and dispersancy.
Applications: Semi-synthetic oils can be a suitable choice for some aircraft engines, particularly those where operating conditions are not as demanding as with high-performance aircraft. They can offer a cost-effective solution while providing some of the benefits of synthetic oils. .
Are semisolid lubricants designed to provide lubrication, block moisture penetration, and protect against corrosion. Grease’s most powerful property is its ability to stick to surfaces, resist evaporation, and withstand the elements. .
