The lubrication oils, except as mentioned previously, covered by this specification are intended for the preservative, break-in and operational use until the first scheduled oil change of all sparkignition 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, 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 ºC.
