US Marine Corps Motor Transport Test Site. Evaluation of MILITEC, INC. Lubricant

1. Militec, Inc. has delivered some lubricants to the Motor Transport Test Site that supposably provides a film barrier between all moving parts. The oil, when added to regular engine oil, will allow the engine to operate under full load even if all oils are lost. The product is added at the amount of 4 ounces for every quart of engine oil. It is allowed to mix for a few minutes and then left for 12,000 miles, when a new treatment must be added.

2. As you see, this could have potentential for front line equipment if the oil pan etc, is damaged as it would allow the vehicle to still operate and leave the hostile area. Militec states that we can operate a jeep for at least 20 minutes under a full load without any oil.

3. Request you evaluate the oils for penetration, wear, separation, evaporation, load wear, hot and cold tests, corrosive properties, gumming, toxic properties, and any other tests to support our project.

4. The results of your tests and our actual test in an engine operated without oil will assist us in evaluating this product.
