POL PRODUCTS GUIDE

This Petroleum, Oil and Lubricants (POL) Products Guide is designed as a quick reference guide to assist materiel and combat developers, supply and maintenance personnel, and other field users in properly using petroleum and its related product commodities that are common to the military supply system. The guidance being provided covers essential fuels, fuel additives, lubricants, and associated products (e.g., hydraulic fluids, antifreeze, etc.) that are required and used in Army (and DoD) ground vehicles, equipment, and materiel. Individual product guides sheets have been developed and formatted to provide the maximum amount of information needed for using these POL Products. Each guide sheet covers a generic product type and includes such information as the relevant military, federal, or other specification/standard, military symbol and NATO Code Number, available container size and National Stock Number (NSN), product applications, temperature range limitation, and general comments relative to product usage. Military specifications and their associated Qualified Product Lists (QPLs) are located on the ASSIST database here: https://assist.dla.mil/online/start/
This POL Products Guide is not intended to replace any military, federal, or other specification/standard, nor the lubrication instructions provided in Technical Manuals (TMs) or Lubrication Orders (LOs), but merely to provide a quick reference source. This guide primarily provides information on purchasing packaged products (lubricating oils, greases, coolants, etc.), which are procured via NSN through DLA-Aviation in the MILSTRIP process. Information for turbine and diesel fuels are given but purchases must be made in bulk under coordination with Army Petroleum Center (APC) and DLA Energy.
This document will be updated periodically to accommodate changes in specifications, NSNs, etc. NSNs are provided for reference only; at the time of this revision, some of the NSNs in this document are either out of stock for procurement or lack currently qualified products. It is advised to consult SAIC for the most up-to-date information on NSN availability and order status at [email protected].
