a preservative. PE1 will be used in the same manner as regularly used engine oil HDO
15W40. PE1 will be used in the transmission until the first scheduled 2000-mile or
semiannual oil change. Refer to Appendix G for lubrication instructions.
Check all fluid levels (refer to TM 9-2350-287-10).

should improve after approximately 5 minutes running time. Conduct troubleshooting
procedures if engine fails to develop full power after 5 minutes.
Start vehicle engine (refer to TM 9-2350-287-10). Run engine until preservative oil is out of combustion
chambers and engine is operating smoothly. Check for fuel and oil leaks immediately.
