Just stumbled across this looking up something entirely unrelated. Perhaps
you too will find it of interest. It is from a gov't site pertaining to
fiscal year 1992.
"Prior to 1990, the Army used only military specification engine oil in its
vehicles. In 1990, the Army began to replace military specification oil with
commercial engine oil in its nontactical vehicles, and in 1992 it began to
use heavy-duty commercial engine oil in its tactical vehicles. Commercial
engine oil represented a savings of 2 to 4 percent over military
specification engine oil."
