Abstract
A method of increasing service life of an oil and a filter in a transmission which converts a variable speed input (10) into a constant speed output (14 or 20) for driving an generator (16 or 22) producing constant frequency power in an airframe in accordance with the invention utilizes a filter having interstices wetted prior to placement in an oil circuit (24) with a quantity of a liquid additive that is washed from the interstices of the filter into solution with the oil during filling and/or operation of the transmission to form a mixture of the oil and additive which reduces the formation of metallo-organic soaps and solids, that are retained in the interstices of the filter.
