The products of AVI-OIL include a wide range of high performance lubricating oils, hydraulic fluids, greases, protectives and specialities, designed to meet the stringent requirements of operation over a wide temperature range and often hostile environment.
Typically an aircraft requires 15 to 30 types of lubricants specifically tailored for each application. These products apart from conforming to the governing specifications and providing satisfactory performance must have the approval of aircraft manufacturers, aero-engine builders and the relevant military or civil authorities. The use of correct products backed by the aircraft designer's approvals is a must to ensure the reliability and safety of the aircraft.
