2. Material Information
A. General
(1) Severity of Oil Service/Service Requirements
(a) Commercial model APUs may be categorized by severity of service. Satisfactory
operation of an oil in a given product would allow approval of that oil for use in
all applications of lesser severity. Severity is established by considering factors
such as duty cycle, environment, oil temperature, lubricated-element mechanical
design, and field and test experience.
(b) All brand-name oils conforming to military specifications MIL-PRF-7808 or
MIL-PRF-23699 are not necessarily approved for commercial use, due to
differences in foaming, coking characteristics, and other criteria.
(2) Approval Status Categories
(a) Specific brand-name oils that have been tested in compliance with the intent of
FAA AC 20-24, and any additional applicable requirements and are Approved
individually by Honeywell for use in a particular APU (or qualified by similarity
to other models tested) are identified as Category “A” in the applicable tables.
Tested oils that are Disapproved for use in specific models are identified as
Category “D” in the tables.
(b) Some oils identified as Category “R” are Not Approved (either Approved or
Disapproved) due to specific Model Specification omission.
(3) Approval Status Change
(a) Honeywell reserves the right to withdraw approval for the reasons that follow:
– Notification from the oil supplier
– Notification from the aircraft manufacturer
– Notification from the affected equipment operators when service experience
warrants further testing and/or disapproval.
(b) For specific aircraft type or APU exceptions to this service bulletin, refer to the
applicable AMM or CMM.
(4) Oil Additives
(a) Modern synthetic turbine oils are a complex formulation of base stock and
additives to meet demanding performance requirements. Honeywell does not
authorize the use of additional additives in the oil in the field. Field additives
can seriously compromise the performance of the existing additives and can
result in an overall degradation of lubrication performance. Therefore oil additives
are not recommended or approved.
(5) Changing Oil Types or Brands
(a) The two Honeywell approved methods to change oil types or brands for APUs
are “Topping off” and “Drain, Flush, Drain and Refill”.
– Topping off (replenish the oil in the reservoir through routine oil service
without any drain or flush) is limited to oil brand changes within a given oil
specification approved for the Honeywell APUs. Gas turbine engine lubricant

(b) The decision to substantiate an oil not identified in the Appendix and the selection
of the appropriate method of substantiation is the responsibility of Honeywell.
(c) Field evaluations require operator involvement, documentation, and agreement
to the substantiation requirements. Field evaluations are only conducted after
successful completion of laboratory analyses confirming the oil conforms to
specifications identified in the References. In-service APUs to be used for the
field evaluation requires certain parts to be inspected both before and after
completion of the field evaluation (if new parts are used, only post-evaluation
inspection is required). The parts that require inspection may vary by the APU
and the oil that is tested. Oil sampling, in-service routine maintenance
requirements, recording/reporting, and others details of the field evaluation will
be developed with each approval activity.
(d) Oils tentatively approved by Honeywell for field evaluation are identified as
Category “T”, in the applicable tables for use in field evaluation units, only after
successfully completing a property and compatibility analysis and evaluation,
and an engine test (hot oil testing for oil durability). Oil approval, as specified
herein, is conditional upon successful completion of the field evaluation testing
and/or satisfactory service experience.
(7) Coking Resistance
(a) MIL-PRF-23699 HTS and SAE AS 5780 HPC oils have demonstrated excellent
coking resistance, even in the more demanding APU applications.
(8) Ambient Temperature Range
(a) Refer to Appendix Table 5.
