Silmid’s specialty lubricant cross-reference chart helps engineers, technicians, and procurement teams identify equivalent specifications across French, UK, and US military organisations. Use it to align military specifications with corresponding NATO codes and Joint Service Designations, supporting accurate sourcing and compliance for aerospace, defence, and industrial maintenance tasks. Always verify the individual product and pack-size certification before ordering, and refer to your aircraft maintenance manual (AMM), component maintenance manual (CMM), or qualified products list (QPL) for final approval, as specifications may change.
The guide below outlines a range of official specifications assigned to specialty lubricant products, including French, UK, and US military references. It also includes corresponding NATO codes and Joint Service Designations for easier cross-referencing during MRO planning and procurement. Before selecting a lubricant, confirm the exact product and pack-size combination is certified for your required specification and always validate against OEM documentation.
*Always confirm technical suitability with OEM data sheets before selecting or substituting a hydraulic fluid product.
Correct specification matching helps reduce the risk of non-compliance and performance issues caused by using the wrong lubricant. Cross-referencing supports maintenance teams by:
It is a guide that helps users match specialty lubricant specifications across French, UK, and US military organisations, including corresponding NATO codes and Joint Service Designations.
The chart can help identify equivalent specifications, but any substitution should be confirmed using OEM manuals (AMM/CMM) or QPL documentation, and by verifying the specific product and pack-size certification.
Certifications can vary by product and pack size, and approvals can change. Always confirm certification details before ordering and validate against the latest OEM requirements.
