MRAP
operators and crewmembers, DOD is looking for your comments and feedback!
As a tactical vehicle operator, you have an opportunity to improve MRAP vehicle and
training programs. Your opinion counts. Help DOD build a more survivable tactical vehicle
and save the lives of fellow operators.
Access the online survey at:
If you have problems accessing the survey, it could be due to firewall issues. Try
completing the survey from a different computer.
At the end of the survey, you’ll find a link to the Tactical Driver Training Course on the
Unit Assistance Training Program (UTAP) website. The site requires CAC card access but is
not associated with the survey.
w
hen the M1074 and M1075 base model PLS trucks got the 4500SP Allison
transmission, the transmission fuid was changed From 10W to 15W40 oil.
Problem is, the maintenance procedures and lubrication tables in TM 9-2320-364-
14&P (IETM EM 0206, Apr 09) are inconsistent. Sometimes they say to use 10W oil
and other times 15W40 oil.

Tell other MRAP
operators about
the survey.
They may want
to contribute to
this
important
evaluation,
too.
What are
you doing
there?
I’m taking an
MRAP driver survey.
I’m gonna help
the Army make our
vehicles
better!
Hey, I want
to get in on
that! Can you
sign me up?
You bet!
I’ve got the
web address
right here!
M1074,
M1075 PLS…
Here’s
the plain
and simple
truth…
Always
use
15W40 oil when
temperatures
are consistently
above
0°F (-18°C).
if temperatures consistently fall
below
0°F, or your vehicle is in
an arctic location, make sure you
follow what the TM says about the
right oil to use in that weather.
I’m
the
right
oil
to use for the
transmission!
{sig
hhh} guess
I’m no longer
wanted, then.
My 4500SP
transmission
takes
only
15W40 oil now.
So get it right!
Make
a note
until the
lubrication
tables and
other TM
references are
updated!
