MIL-L-8383 oil is specified for use in the Wisconsin Robin Model 30D36R 3 KW diesel GenSet. This oil is primarily used for APUs in military aircraft that are non-turbine type. I'm looking for a civilian equivalent. I found one document that states that the military phased out MIL-L-8383 in the early 70s, but T.O. 35C2-3-499-1 dated 15MAY90 still lists it as required for use in this genset.
I'm tempted to use 15W-40 if I can't find an equivalent for MIL-L-8383.![Question :?: :?:](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_question.gif)
