Aviation oil Ms-20 (GOST21743-76) is a solvent-refined aviation oil. It is used:
- in piston engines of airplanes;
- as a part of oil mixes with oils MS-8, MS-8p (in various ratios);
- in lubrication systems of turboprop engines;
- in the axial hinges of the helicopter propeller bushings; for greasing of motor-compressors of gas-pumping units;
- as a base component for some motor oils and greases.
