MILITARY LETTERS

Background
I have been interested in petroleum and synthetic lubricants as a novice mechanic and as a professional Naval Aviator for about 20 years. I continue to look for products than will give a better protection to high revolution, heavy usage machines.

Discussion
I recently put Militec Oil into three of my private vehicles: a 1982 Porsche 911SC, a 1980 Mercedes Benz 300TD (diesel), and my son's rebuilt 1964 Corvair Monza. The difference in performance and acceleration was notable. The most improvement in all three cars was that of noise, vibration, and operating temperature reduction.

Porsche 911 SC

With a new oil change and 28 ounces of Militec (for a 12.5 quart capacity), the engine (with 54,135 miles) operated much smoother at idle and more quiet at high speed, especially when addressing the 911's standard noise in the timing chains. Upon start-up, there is no indication of poor lubrication of machined parts. Acceleration through 4000 RPM does seem to be better than before the Militec application (using the same environmental conditions for this evaluation). Cold idle RPM is a substantial 400 RPM greater indicating the lower viscosity and lower coefficient of friction factors in the oil, but idle RPM quickly returns to the proper reading in 30-50 seconds. RPM at idle is close to readings taken before application of Militec with no re-adjusting of fuel injection system. (This seemed out of~he ordinary. The fuel injection, a Bosch K-type, must compensate by reducing the fuel flow that achieves this idle RPM with the reduced internal friction of the Militec.) Over the range of the following temperatures, pressures, and RPMs, the car performed better than previous indications:
