This specification covers a single classification of synthetic steam turbine, hydraulic, and gear lubricating oil, moderate service, for use in main and auxiliary turbines, gears, air compressors, and certain hydraulic equipment, as well as for general mechanical lubrication. Due to its synthetic basestock, this oil could offer improved performance in certain applications currently utilizing MIL-PRF-17331 (2190 TEP) where long-term operational life and/or oxidative stability is desired, such as in High Pressure Air Compressors (HPACs).
