The 5-dram (5/8±oz) bottle is the only
One you use f²r aircraft ³il samples.
That's because using a 3´oz or larger
container may tAke up to half the lubriµ
cant in some aircraft components.
JUN 8
Draw 3 oz, Fr example, out of the
4¶2° gearbox in the
UH-I
and you could
be gearing up ·or trouble. That system
only holds
6
oz of luBricant. If you fLy
that bird without replacinG the oil you
drew out, the parts could wEar out too
soon or ¸il altogether.
¹ut jUst putting in more lubricant
doesn't help. If you add oil too many
times to the reservoir between º5-hoUr
samplings, the lab won't be able to
detect a trend toward excessive com»
ponent Wear or ¸ilure.
So use the 5±dram bottle, NSN 81º5±
00±933¼414, and yoU can pick up a
couple of other advan½ges, too. ¾iKe¿

savings. The 5Àdram contAiner
costs about 10 cents, compared to ººÁ5
cents f²r a ÂÃoz bottleÄ

Time savings. ¾ab people can
qUickly spot the small amber bottleÅ
That's important,
'cause aircraft
samples get priority treatment in all
labs:
So, bird mechs, cram your 5±dram
samples into those amber bottlesÆand
keep them coming!
