Lubricant Information
Certain abbreviations follow Society of Automotive
Engineers (SAE) J754 nomenclature and some
classifications follow SAE J183 abbreviations.
The MIL specifications are U.S.A. Military
Specifications.
The recommended oil viscosities can be found in
the Lubricant Viscosities chart in this publication.
Grease is classified by the National Lubricating
Grease Institute (NLGI) based on ASTM D217-68
Worked Penetration characteristics which are
given a defined consistency number.
Engine Oil ( DEO and EO )
The following oil specifications provide guidelines
for the selection of commercial products :
¥
Gasoline / LP-Gas Engine : API SH or SG
¥
Diesel Engine : API CF-4
NOTICE
Failure to follow the oil recommendations can
cause shortened engine life due to carbon
deposits or excessive wear.
Consult the EMA Lubricating Oils Data Book for a
listing of oil brands.
NOTE : The percentage of sulfur in the fuel will
affect the engine oil recommendations. For fuel
sulfur effects, the Infrared Analysis or the ASTM
D2896 procedure can be used to evaluate the
residual neutralization properties of an engine oil.
The sulfur products formation depends on the fuel
sulfur content, oil formulation, crankcase blowby,
engine operating conditions and ambient tempera-
ture.
Hydraulic Oil ( HYDO )
The following commercial classifications can be
used in the hydraulic system.
¥
API CF-4/SG, CF-4/SF, CE/SG, CE/SF, CD/SG,
or CD/SF
¥
MIL-L-2104E or D
Industrial premium hydraulic oils that have passed
the Vickers vane pump test (35VQ25) and/or have
a minimum of 0.09% zinc additive may also be
used. These oils should have antiwear, antifoam,
antirust and antioxidation additives for heavy duty
use as stated by the oil supplier. ISO viscosity
grade of 32 would normally be selected.
Transmission Oil ( TDTO )
NOTICE
This oil is formulated for transmissions and
drive trains only, and should not be used in
engines. Shortened engine life will result.
NOTE : Multi-grade oils are not blended by DAE-
WOO for use in transmissions. Multi-grade oils
which use high molecular weight polymers as vis-
cosity index improvers lose their viscosity effec-
tiveness by permanent and temporary shear of the
viscosity index improver and therefore, are not
recommended for transmission and drive train
compartments.
NOTE : Failure to follow this recommendation can
cause shortened transmission life due to material
incompatibility, inadequate frictional requirements
for disk materials and/or excessive gear wear.
The API CD/TO-2 or CD/TO-4 specification or
MIL-L 2104D,E or F oil could be used.
