A lubrication system includes a primary lubrication system for a gearbox of the aircraft, the primary lubrication system comprising a first lubricant tank, and an emergency lubrication system for the gearbox. The emergency lubrication system includes a second lubricant tank coupled to a gearbox of an aircraft, a passive thermostat coupled between the second lubricant tank and the gearbox via a lubricant line, a conductor coupled between the passive thermostat and the gearbox and configured to conduct heat from the gearbox to the passive thermostat, and wherein the passive thermostat is configured to open in response to the conductor being exposed to a temperature that exceeds a threshold temperature.
