ARMY EXPERIENCE WITH SYNTHETIC ENGINE OILS IN MIXED FLEET ARTIC SERVICE

This paper covers the initial testing, development of the improved arctic engine oils, discussion relating to mixed fleet military field test experience with the new lubricants, and laboratory testing of these new oils in standard oil test engines as well as in specific military high-output diesel engine. Experience has shown these new synthetic lubricants are superior to the former mineral-based oils in ground-powered equipment and that they also function well as year-round hydraulic and power transmission lubricants. /GMRL/
