Abstract:

Re-refined base oils were obtained and analyzed. Based on the analyses, six oils were formulated to MIL-L-46152 quality level using the same concentration of a single additive package. The formulated oils were tested against the requirements of MIL-L-46152. One oil passed all the engine tests. Vehicles from City of San Diego which operated on re-refined oil were disassembled and inspected for deposits. Author
