Intervals (on condition or hard time) and re- lated man-hour times are based on normal operation The man-hour time specified is the time you need to do all the services prescribed for a particular interval On Condition (OC) oll sample intervals shall be applied unless changed by the Army Oil Analysis Program (AOAP) Laboratory Change the hard time intervals If your lubricants are contaminated or if you are operating the equipment under ad- verse operating conditions, Including longer- than-usual operating hours The hard time interval may be extended during periods of low activity If extended, adequate preservation precautionsmust be taken Hard time intervals

will be applied in the event AOAPlaboratory

support is not available

intervals shown in this lubrication instruction arebased on mileage andcalendar times An example of a mileage and calendar lubrication is 3/S, in which 3 stands for 3,000 miles and S stands for semi-annually The lubrication is to be performed at whichever interval occurs first for the vehicle

On ancillary equipment, the hour interval Is estimated hous of operation, not actual en- gine hours that appear on the hourmeter Dotted arrow points Indicate lubrication on both sides of the vehicle or equipment

CLEANING Clean fittings before lubricating Clean parts with dry cleaning solvent (SD) type Il or equivalent Dry before lubricating

LEVEL OF MAINTENANCE The lowest level of maintenance authorized to lubricate a point is indicated by one of the following: Operator/ crew (C); and Organizational Maintenance (O)

LUBRICANTS Lubricanttypes and operating temperature ranges are given within the key on Cards 2 and 3 When changing or applying lubricans, be sure to follow the recommended temperature ranges for those lubricants AFTER FORDING Lubricate all fittings below fording depth and check submerged gear boxes, engine, and transmission for presence of water

c Main body The main body is the meat of the lubrication

order This section brings together vehicle information and lubrication information The main body is broken down into two

sections; for ease of understanding, let's call them "systems

illustrations" and "localized views."

(1) Systems illustration section This section contains illustrations of the vehicle lubrication system There

will be one or more illustrations depending on the

complexity of the piece of equipment This section

locates major components and provides information such as

the types of lubricants to be used, types and intervals of service, and the echelons of maintenance authorized to

perform the services

Now it's time for you to really become familiar with this part of

the LO Study the material in figure 3-28 and note the different services that are to be performed Use the cover page in figure

3-26 and the key in figure 3-27 to help interpret the symbols and

codes

Let's see how well you have studied Using figures 3-26 through 3-28, answer the following questions: |

How did you do? Well, compare your answers with those below to make sure you're on the right track

@ The lowest echelon of maintenance authorized to check the

number 1 axle differential and power divider is

(O) - organizational maintenance (figure 3-26)

e You drain and refill the number 2 axle differential every (6/A) - six thousand miles or semiannually whichever

comes first (figure 3-26 and 27)

e The following lubricants are used in the shift unit (all

axles):

OE/HDO 10 or OEA, depending on the temperature

Note: Did you check the key in figure 3-27 or did you just use figure 3-28? If you didn't check the key, do so

now Did you notice that OEA is used in the shift

unit when the temperature is between O°F and -50 °F?

I hope so! Don't forget to use the key; some

lubricants change with each temperature range!

e The answers to the symbols and abbreviations are:

GO Gear Oil _ AOAP Army Oil Analysis Program

(C) Operator/crew (O) Organizational Maintenance Oc On Condition 2M 2000 miles/monthly

(2) Localized views Use this section when you aren't

familiar with the equipment As you can see in figure 3- 29, these illustrations are close-up views of the

components shown in the systems illustration These illustrations are designated by alpha characters

(letters)

Now let's go through the procedure for using this section Look

at figure 3-28 Go to the number 3 axle differential and power

divider Notice the following statement: "(See notes 9, 10, and view A, AY)." Views A and AY refer to the localized views of the

component In this case, the "A" refers to view "A" in the top

left corner of figure 3-29

It's easy to see how useful this section could be if you were

trying to service the filter screen on the number 3 axle

differential Again, illustrations are life savers when you are

d Notes Special instructions are sometimes placed in the systems illustrations or on the cover page But, in some cases, where more information is required, a "note" section is provided

(fig 3-30)

Take a moment to read the notes in figure 3-30 There is some

very important information there Go ahead Read them now and

read them carefully

Let's see if you overlooked any information For example:

© Did you notice in note 1 that you are required to change

lubricants in some components when the outside temperature drops below a specific point?

e Did you notice in note 3 that the oil change interval while the equipment is under warranty differs from the

interval for equipment not under warranty?

e Did you see that reference was also made in note 3 to oil

analysis? Did you realize that a technical bulletin (TB) is listed to provide information on sampling procedures and to inform you of the location of the nearest oil lab?

e Did you observe that note 6 provided special instructions

about the transmission oil filter change?

e Did you see that note 9 contains some important

information pertaining to refilling the No 1 and No 3 differentials?

These are just a few examples of typical notes that you will find

on a lube order Remember to read all of them closely

Lesson Summary This lesson covered one of the most useful tools

a mechanic has, the lubrication order The purpose of the lubrication order is to provide you with a single consolidated source of lubrication instructions You identified symbols and common terms and used the key and main body to identify

Lesson 3 LUBRICANT CONTAMINATION LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1 List the three major sources of lubricant contamination 2 State in writing the most common cause of contamination

of stored lubricants

3 State in writing the measures used to prevent lubricant contamination |

4 State in writing the causes of component contamination 5 State in writing the preventive measure that should be

taken to prevent component contamination

Are these true statements?

® Oil doesn't wear out

e Oil does become contaminated and looses its lubricating

qualities a

® Oil even becomes acidic (like an acid)

You bet they are! How does contamination occur and what can you do to prevent it? This lesson will answer these questions

There are three major sources of lubricant contamination and many

measures that you can use to prevent contamination from

occurring, or at least keep it at a minimum The sources are improper storage, improper handling procedures, and component contamination Let's look at these sources and their preventive

measures more closely

3301 Improper Storage

Lubricants often pick up contaminants such as water, dirt, and

other foreign matter even before they are used in a vehicle and

open containers are the most common cause of this contamination During field operations, this is an even more serious problem Most large oil drums are stored outside of buildings due to lack of space inside This means that you will have a much harder time keeping such drums and other storage containers from being

exposed to the elements, but, by properly closing the containers,

you can prevent their contents from becoming contaminated Preventive measures include the following:

Keep containers closed Make sure plugs and caps, commonly

Trang 12

If possible, drums should be stored on their sides and elevated from the ground; this will prevent water from

accumulating around the rims

To prevent dirt or water from entering drums, always clean their tops before removing bungs

When you set up a petroleum, oil, and lubricant (POL) point,

make sure that you comply with environmental regulations

Most maintenance facilities have environmentally clean and

protected storage places for lubricants

Now, without looking back, what is the most common cause of contamination of stored lubricants and what is the best way to

prevent it? |

Most common cause

Preventive measure

You should have said that the most common cause is an open container, and the best preventive measure is to keep the container closed when it's not in use

3302 Improper Handling

The improper use or handling of tools and containers also

contributes to contamination Tools and containers that are covered with oil attract dirt The next time they are used,

contaminants will be delivered directly into the oil supply You can also contaminate lubricants by using the wrong tools or by

using them interchangeably (for example, a hand pump used for

fuel should not be used to pump oil unless it has first been properly cleaned) |

Using a dirty tool or container covered with oil can cause other problems A coating of oil is the most likely reason for a can to slip out of your hands Dirty tools are also dangerous; they could easily slip out of your hands and cause a serious injury

Preventive measures include the following:

Keep tools and containers clean This is the best way to prevent spilling and contamination

Use the correct tools to open the vent caps on oil drums

Never poke holes in an oil can or drum to create a vent

Other special tools you should use are oil pumps, funnels,

oil spouts, and grease guns Don't improvise unless

absolutely necessary

Trang 13

Tools covered with oil attract and could deliver it

directly into the supply

What would be the most likely reason for an oil can or wrench to slip out of your hands, and what can you do to prevent this from happening?

Reason or cause

Preventive measure

Your answers should be very much the same as the ones below

If they are, continue on with the lesson If not, review the material just covered

Tools covered with oil attract dirt and could deliver it directly into the oil supply

The most likely reason for the oil can or wrench to slip is that they are oily The best preventive measure is to keep them

clean

3303 Component Contamination

Dirt, water, or other contaminants enter through the engine's air intake system; some will pass by the piston rings and enter the

crankcase These contaminants mix with the oil and accelerate

wear on internal components

Leaking injectors, leaking injector pumps, or worn piston rings allow unburned fuel to enter the crankcase Engine oil becomes diluted when mixed with fuel, causing a dramatic drop in the oil's lubricating qualities This can leave machined parts without a layer of oil and allow parts to make metal-to-metal contact Friction and heat increase leading to possible

component failure

The cooling system is yet another cause of component

contamination Damaged head gaskets, water jackets, cracked

heads, or cracked blocks can allow coolant to enter the |

crankcase When mixed with oil, coolant creates a sludge that

has little or no lubricating qualities This sludge is identified by its milky-white color

Water is also one of the by-products of combustion In the form

of steam, it seeps past piston rings and condenses in the crankcase Water remains there and mixes with oil until the

crankcase gets hot enough to evaporate it |

To prevent contamination:

Trang 14

e Use the oil analysis program mentioned earlier It is a countermeasure of contamination designed to positively identify lubricants that need changing

© Control engine temperature Engines that have

malfunctioning thermostats or that are operated for only short durations will not reach a high enough temperature

to burn their fuel completely This unburned fuel enters

the crankcase and dilutes the oil A small amount of oil

dilution occurs in all engines from the moment of start up through warm up but an engine at normal operating temperature burns its fuel more completely and is hot

enough to evaporate contaminants such as water

° Replace oil filters on schedule Doing this will keep dirt and other foreign matter from reaching bearings and other machined surfaces A dirty filter can create

enough pressure to open the by-pass valve and allow the

contaminated oil to be pumped throughout the engine e Keep the crankcase ventilation system on the engine and

the breather valves on transmissions, transfer cases, and

differentials clean and free from obstruction Fumes and excess pressure released through the ventilation systems

purge large amounts of contaminants before they can mix

with the lubricants

© Clean and service air filters on a regular basis This

increases engine performance and keeps dirt and other

foreign matter from entering the engine air intake

system

To wrap up this last section of the lesson, try your hand at

answering the following questions and completing the statements concerning component contamination

Worn piston rings allow to enter

the crankcase to the oil

What is likely to happen if a head gasket is damaged and how can you tell if this has occurred?

If the engine isn't properly controlled or if

an engine is operated only for very short distances, will enter the crankcase and

dilute the oil

What preventive measure helps keep dirt and other foreign matter from entering the air intake system?

The three major sources of contamination are improper , improper , and

and component

Trang 15

“Your answers should be very similar to the following:

Worn piston rings will allow unburned fuel to enter the crankcase to dilute the oil

A damaged head gasket allows coolant to enter the crankcase

Water in the oil is identified by its milky-white color If the engine temperature isn't properly controlled or if an engine is operated only for very short distances, unburned fuel will enter the crankcase and dilute the oil

Cleaning and servicing air filters on a regular basis

prevents dirt and other foreign matter from entering the air intake system

The three major sources of contamination are improper storage, improper handling, and component contamination If you had a hard time answering any of the questions or

completing the statements, review this lesson before continuing on

Lesson Summary In this lesson, you were provided with the

knowledge and skills necessary to properly store and handle

Lesson 4 OIL ANALYSIS

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1 List the three benefits achieved from using the Joint 0il Analysis Program as a part of your preventive maintenance program

State the publication that lists all equipment and components that require Joint Oil Analysis Program sampling

List the two methods used to obtain oil samples

Trang 17

We mentioned the oil analysis program briefly before Now let's look at this program and see how it will make your job a lot easier

3401 Purpose of Oil Analysis

Oil analysis is used as a diagnostic tool to determine the physical condition of used oil and the internal condition of

engines, gearboxes, transmissions, and other oil-lubricated

systems or components This is done by performing spectrometric

analysis and physical property testing Sounds high tech doesn't

it? Well, it is, but so is the equipment that you're working on

Let's go a step further and see just what the analysis and testing are designed to do

a Spectrometric analysis Spectrometric analysis determines

the concentrations of various wear metals in oil samples Metal

particles of microscopic size are produced by the friction of

moving parts within any mechanical system After entering the

oil, these metal particles are dispersed and suspended throughout

the lubrication system Spectroscopy identifies the types and

amounts of the different metal particles in the oil sample With

periodic sampling of used oil, abnormal wear can be detected and

the affected parts or mechanisms can be identified before a failure occurs

b Physical property test Physical property tests are

analytical tests conducted on used oil to detect oil property changes that result from various equipment conditions or

maintenance practices These tests measure oil viscosity, fuel

dilution, and water content and are used to determine useful oil life or oil drain intervals

If you think about the information covered in the last lesson, Lubricant Contamination, it's not hard to understand why a

program like this was developed and is used The oil analysis

program is called by several different names The Army calls the

program the Army Oil Analysis Program (AOAP); the Marine Corps refers to the program as the Joint Oil Analysis (JOAP) Program

3402 Benefits of Oil Sampling

By providing information to mechanics before costly damage to major vehicle components occurs, the oil analysis program brings

new meaning to the words "preventive maintenance." The three

Trang 18

âđ Reduced maintenance costs

e Reduced equipment downtime

e Increased unit readiness

Have you heard about these benefits before? They are the goals of all maintenance shops

This program is a joint effort involving both the mechanic and

the laboratory technician The mechanic submits the oil samples

at prescribed intervals or when a special sample is required (we'll get into that a little later) The lab technician

analyzes the samples by comparing the results of the tests with available data and reports the findings and recommendations back to the unit

The findings for one of your vehicles may indicate, for example, unusually high levels of dust or dirt in the oil In such cases, the lab report will inform you that dust levels in the oil are abnormal The report will also note that the most likely cause of this condition is a faulty air induction system You can then locate and repair the problem before any major engine damage

occurs As you can see from this example, the program gives you

a great "preventive maintenance" tool

Lab reports may also inform you that the oil sample submitted is

fine and that wear metals suspended in the oil sample are

perfectly normal In such cases, the recommendation would be to

leave the oil as is So you would do nothing to the oil This

helps save money and resources and differs from the old hard time

service interval policy in which oil is changed after so many miles of operation or calendar months regardless of its

condition

Now, without referring back, what are the three benefits achieved from using the JOAP?

That's correct, they are reduced maintenance costs, reduced
