Hi
Just an FYI ,the Military spec oil used now is either the 30W HD or the
15-40W for all season use. That is what the OMS shops are getting by
the barrell now. Both are fine.

I run the same extended change interval 15-40 oil that I use in my diesel farm tractors. I last changed the oil in May of 2002 and with almost 3,000 miles on it it is down maybe a bit over 1 quart. As far as life expectancy goes on these engines....I don't see why they could not last 150-200k miles before a major if the maint is done on them correctly and the rpm are kept down below 25-2600, which is much higher than most diesels this size are designed to work at. They would go much farther if the gearing was higher, say around 5.62. jja
