I had to hunt around to find out what "OEA" was. Oil, Engine, Arctic. 0w20 Synthetic.

Oh, the Military loves their TLAs!

Got to love how everything is comma'd too.

It is how we got Olive Drab

Was
Drab, Olive

So Arctic Engine Oil becomes
Oil, Engine, Arctic which become
OEA

Fun Huh.

#@$%!, that brings back memories of the supply room when I was in the Army. Everything had a acronym and was bass ackwards.

That is nothing, imagine havine an Electical Engineering degree and in your Signal Officer Advanced Course at Ft. Gordon, GA, to have to work the problems "backwards" because the Army used "electron" flow, instead of current flow.

I aced the tests, but it was difficult due to years of being trained to work with current flow and not the actual movements of electrons.

None of the schematic symbols make sense if you watch where the electrons are going
