50,000-Mile Engine-Lubricant Field Test of XM809 Series 5-Ton Vehicles.

Abstract

An accelerated, 50,000 miles, durability test of XM809 Series, 5-ton trucks was conducted at Red River Army Depot from April 1970 through February 1971. In conjunction with the vehicle test, the field performance of four Military engine oils was investigated. The test lubricatns consisted of two oils qualified under specification MIL-L-2104B (REO-191 and Contract Oil), one oil qualified under specification MIL-L-45199B (REO-194), and one oil qualified under both the MIL-L-2104B and MIL-L-45199B specifications. Lubricant performance was established by used oil analyses and engine teardown inspections. (Author)
