THE U. S. Army now specifies a single type of heavy-duty oil for use in all ground force vehicles.To bring this oil, covered by U. S. Army Specification 2-104B, to its present satisfactory state required extensive laboratory and road testing.A discussion of the difficulties that had been experienced with the old straight mineral oil when it was used in modern high-performance engines and the development work performed by the Ordnance Department in evolving the present heavy-duty oil specifications is presented here by Major Bassett.
