The SAE 1OW grade oil is not to be used in high-output, two-cycle
compression-ignition engines. The lubricating oils, except as mentioned above,
covered by this specification are intended for the preservative, break-in and
operational use until the first scheduled oil change of all spark-ignition and
compression-ignition engines used in all types of military combat/tactical
ground equipment and for the crankcase lubrication of two-cycle, four-cycle,
high-speed, high-output, supercharged compression-ignition engines used in all
ground equipment. The oils are also intended for the same application in power
transmissions, g hydraulic systems, and non-hypoid gear units of
engineer/construction equipment, materials handling equipment and
combat/tactical ground equipment. The lubricating oils covered by this
specification meet service classifications API CG-4, CF of SAE J183 and are
intended for all conditions of operational service, as defined by appropriate
lubrication orders, when temperatures are above −25°C (see 6.7).
This specification requires an oil formulation that is both versatile-used as
engine oil, transmission fluid, and hydraulic fluid-and meets extreme
operating environmental conditions for use in combat/tactical ground
equipment. These requirements cannot be found in current industry standards
and are not appropriate for other Government vehicles.
