SAE surface vehicle standard updated to include
new U.S. Army-specific lubricant requirements
The SAE Fuels and Lubricants TC
3 Driveline and Chassis
Lubrication Committee has
revised SAE J2360 Automotive
Gear Lubricants for Commercial
and Military Use. The revision
includes three new requirements
for U.S. Army lubricant grades
75W-90 and 75W-140.
The committee notes that the
requirements; specifically, thermal and oxidative
stability test time is extended to 150 hours.
SAE has been a facilitator in lubricant approvals. In
U.S. Army is upgrading its
lubricant requirement with
lubricants that can result in higher
vehicle efficiency. A new axle
lubricant efficiency requirement
has been added to SAE J2360.
The U.S. Army applications
primary uses the clutch-type
limited slip ddifferentials. These
differentials rely on the smooth
operation of oil-lubricated
frictional clutches to control wheel
torque. Damaging NVH issues,
such as chatter, can occur when
the frictional system is not
operating as intended. This can
occur when the lubricant does not
have the appropriate frictional
characteristics. The new revision of
SAE J2360 now includes a
requirement for the frictional
requirements of the lubricant. The
Army has also increased life
UPDATE
1977, SAE developed the Gear Lubricant Review
Committee to manage the approval of U.S. military
purchased axle lubricants. Since 1998, the Performance
Review Institute has been administering these approvals.
Those lubricants that meet these new requirements are
listed on the Lubricant Review Institute, Performance
Review Institute (PRI) https://p-r-i.org/pri-qpl/lubricantreview-institute/
website.
