People often ask us if there are any instances where using MILITEC-1 might be inappropriate.
The easy answer is NO! MILITEC-1 is great for all automotive, industrial and firearms uses!
However, in the interest of complete honesty, there are actually a few cases where MILITEC-1 is NOT advised:
- If the equipment manufacturer specifies that you must use only non-detergent oil, MILITEC-1 should NOT be used. Non-detergent oil allows deposits to build up over time. When a product with even a small amount of detergency is introduced after extended use of non-detergent oil, the deposits may be cleansed so rapidly that it will clog the system.
- If an equipment manufacturer specifies that you must use only one unique lube from a single source, MILITEC-1 should NOT be used. This is true for any equipment, including firearms, air or pellet guns, automotive/transportation equipment and industrial equipment.
- If the equipment manufacturer allows a variety of appropriate, interchangeable oils from various manufacturers, MILITEC-1 can be used with complete confidence. This is the case with almost all car/truck engines, car/truck transmissions, industrial equipment, and firearms applications.
- If the equipment manufacturer specifies that you must avoid synthetic, parasynthetic or chlorinated lubricants, MILITEC-1 should NOT be used.
- MILITEC-1 is NOT compatible with polycarbonate.
- MILITEC-1 should NOT be added to brake fluid or similar fluids.
- Always be sure to follow all equipment manufacturer warranty instructions.
