Reminds me of a question I've always been meaning to ask someone
knowledgeable:
If the specs. on my CUCV's and my M151A2 both call for "SAE 30", why then
did the U.S. Military stencil "15 W 40 ONLY" on these engines, and from
bases as disparate as Malmstrom AFB, Great Falls MO and Camp Withycombe
ARNG, OR.?
