BEST PRACTICES FOR USING AND STORING AEROSHELL FLUIDS
Adopt a first-in, first-out principle
Store in conditions free from heat, moisture and dust
If outside storage is necessary, drums should be lain on their sides or tilted to prevent water from entering the bung opening or collecting on the barrel top where it could cause corrosion
Clean the top of barrel before opening
Reseal after each use
Use a proper dispenser to guard against contamination
Use a transfer pump with a filter to transfer fluid from the barrel to a storage container

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CHANGING FLUIDS
AeroShell mineral and synthetic hydrocarbon hydraulic fluids are completely compatible and miscible with each other.
This compatibility makes changeover easy and can be accomplished in one of two ways:
Draining the aircraft’s hydraulic system of old fluid and filling it with new fluid
Topping up the reservoir with new fluid as needed
Always refer to the relevant aircraft maintenance manual to confirm the changeover method.
