Cooperative Field Evaluation of MIL-L-2104C Lubricant in Engine and Hydraulic Applications.

Abstract

This report covers a cooperative, lubricants program conducted in conjunction with the developmental testing (DTII) of a new Family of Lightweight Engineering Construction Equipment, known collectively by the acronym, FAMECE. This equipment was of interest because MIL-L-2104C engine oil served as a universal lubricant for engine, transmission, and hydraulic systems. The use of the Grade 10 oil as an Army hydraulic fluid was of particular interest. The overall objective of the program was to obtain base-line data on field application of MIL-L-2104C engine oil for use in future modification of the MIL-L-2104 engine oil specification. This report covers the laboratory evaluation of used oils collected during DTII and the investigation of fuel-related problems encountered during tests. Data indicate satisfactory oil performance.
