MIL-PRF-21260E - Internal Combustion Engine Preservative Break-In Lubricating Oil
We perform lubricants testing by military specification MIL-PRF-21260, which covers engine oils used in spark-ignition and compression-ignition type engines. These engine oils are suitable for preservation, break-in, and lubrication of reciprocating internal combustion engines of both spark-ignition and compression-ignition types, and of power transmission fluid applications in equipment used in combat/tactical service.
