Straight from a military guy! Thanks for the info. Im pretty shocked you dont use a nice 5w-40 full synthetic. Dont military vehicles have larger sumps? Some of those big 8 wheel or larger machines have huge stationary diesels which should have at least 20 litre sumps maybe closer to 40L. Are you a mechanic in the military? If I were to be a mechanic I would have most likely tried to be one in the military. I decided not to do that as a career and just as a hobby. Thanks for fighting for all our freedom and stay safe!
