Previous research by the U.S. Army defined requirements For heavy-duty diesel engine lubricants for military equipment deployed in arctic regions. These products have provided excellent performance for nearly 20 years-first as a purchase description in 1969, and fielded under specification MIL-L-46167 since 1974. Although this specification provides for use of mineral base or synthetic base oils, the performance requirements are such that only synthetic base lubricants (nominal 6 cSt) have been qualified.
