LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL

This lubrication instruction is for unit maintenance and provides the lubrication requirements needed to

support components of the Extended Service Program (ESP) vehicles. Included are table 1, Fluid Capacities

and Lubricant Requirements, table 2, Lubrication Intervals, and Locations for lubricating the vehicles

under normal and conditions.

SERVICE INTERVALS

(1) Service intervals are for normal operation of the vehicle in moderate temperatures, humidity, and

atmospheric conditions. The intervals are hard-time intervals which are performed in accordance with the

vehicle's age, calendar, or usage such as operating time or mileage. The hard-time intervals in table 2 are

based on mileage and calendar times. An example of mileage and calendar intervals is: 3/5; 3 stands for

3,000 miles (4,827 km) and S stands for semiannually (every six months). The lubrication for the vehicle is

to be performed at whichever interval occurs firsts.

(2) For equipment under manufacturer's warranty, hard-time oil service intervals shall be followed.

Hard-time intervals may be shortened if lubricants are used under adverse conditions, including longer-

then usual operating hours. Hard-time intervals may be extended during periods of low activity, although

adequate preservation precautions must be taken. Hard-time intervals will be applied in the event Army

Oil Analysis Program (AOAP) laboratory support is not available.

(3) Service intervals under unusual conditions will increase the frequency of lubricating service, such as

high or low temperatures, prolonged high-speed driving, or extended cross-country operations. Such

operations can diminish a lubricant's protective quality.

ARCTIC CONDITIONS

Refer to FM 9-207, Operation and Maintenance of Ordnance Materiel in Cold Weather 0 to -65F (-18

to -54C), or table 1, Fluid Capacities and Lubricant Requirements.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC)

(1) Corrosion prevention and control (CPC) of Army materiel is a continuing concern. It is important

that corrosion problems are reported so they can be corrected and improvements can be made to prevent

future problems.

(2) While corrosion is typically associated with rusting of metals, it can also include deterioration of

other materials, such as rubber and plastic. Unusual cracking, softening, swelling, or breaking of these

materials may be a corrosion problem.

(3) If a corrosion problem is identified, it can be reported using Standard Form 368, Product Quality

Deficiency Report. Use of key words such as corrosion, rust, deterioration, or cracking will ensure that the

information is identified as a CPC problem.

(4) The form should be submitted to the address specified in DA Pam 738-750.
