A gear reduction includes a sun gear that engages a plurality of planet gears mounted on a carrier. The planet gears are engaged with a ring gear. The ring gear is fixed against rotation such that rotation of the sun gear causes rotation of the planet gears to cause rotation of the carrier. There are spray bars positioned circumferentially between adjacent ones of the planet gears. The spray bars have jet openings, such that lubricant can be passed directly onto teeth on the sun gear. One of the side faces has a plurality of windows such that oil can be scavenged. There are side surfaces between plurality of windows that do not have an opening. A gas turbine engine and a spray bar are also disclosed.

A gas turbine engine has a housing exposed to a high temperature environment. The housing has a circumferential wall extending around the engine centerline and circumscribing an oil cavity. The wall has a sealing interface at an inner diameter thereof, the sealing interface having a central axis offset from the engine centerline. A boss is formed on the wall on the offset side relative to the engine centerline and a probe is mounted to the boss. The probe projects into the oil cavity. The oil in the oil cavity thermally shields the probe from the high temperature environment.

An assembly for an aircraft turbine engine includes a fan drive reduction gear and a lubrication system including: a reduction gear housing; a lubricant tank; a lubricant supply circuit including a feed pump; and a lubricant recovery circuit including a pump for recovering lubricant from the reduction gear housing. The recovery circuit includes a lubricant distributor, including: a lubricant inlet communicating with a lubricant outlet of the housing; an air inlet; and a distributor outlet, the distributor being able to adopt a lubricant recovery configuration and a configuration for retaining the lubricant in the housing.
