LD/LDT-465 OIL/Endurance Lab Test

[Katahdin]

LABORATORY EVALUATION OF MULTIVISCOSITY-GRADE
ENGINE OILS IN U.S. ARMY DIESEL ENGINES

Report Date May 1981

Interesting find, they tested a variety of oils and simulated a 20K mile/210 hour workload on LD/LDT-465s. I had to split up the PDF to keep it under the upload limit. A lot of it is over my head but hopefully worthwhile reading for the expert SSers.

I still need to send my oil analysis out.... I changed mine at 4000
Miles and want to see what it's like!

Nice article. Makes me feel even better about using Rotella 15w40. Now I have scientific proof!!
