LUBRICATING OILS
Lubricating oils should meet the requirements of the U.S. Ordnance Specifications MIL-L-46152 or MIL-L-2104C. The
lubricating oils for use in Perkins Diesel engines should have a minimum Viscosity Index of 80.
Note:
Operators are advised not to use a lubricating oil to the MIL-L-T104C specification in 4.236 marine
engines for the first 25/50 hours of operation.
Some of these oils are listed below and on next page but any other oils which meet these specifications are also suitable.
