The Lubrication of Military Vehicles. 1943-1945. 

I will never understand why the military and government in general doesn't still produce these kind of instructional videos for a whole range of subjects - technical or otherwise. Good visuals, clear/simple instructions, an explanation of why something must be done and how to get it done - just good, solid teaching. Such videos, made in a standard format, using experts in various fields for guidance, with no music or over the top nonsense to distract students, would be invaluable to those who are largely able to teach themselves how to do things with a little visual aid and clear explanation. As thankful as I am for modern RU-vid instruction videos, their quality varies wildly. On the other hand, these old WWII training films always explain things so well and at such a basic level that it's difficult to misunderstand or miss something.

Been working as a professional auto mechanic for 20+ years now. All of this still rings 100% true, and with direct injection, it's even more so important.

These type of videos are the best educational tools that we should still be producing and showing today

The old school in-line six for the win!! Best engine alignment in history, and now they are finally coming back!

Had a old car, and a common misconception was for older engines, you had a higher rating oil viscosity as it meant oil could not in theory flow as easy past the worn oil rings into head and be burnt by the spark plug in the combustion chamber. This was more thought after in hotter climates as in Australia in summer in the 1990s. An easy way to check for oil leaks in combustion chamber was put your hand over the exhaust pipe and either get hand dirty from unburnt oil, or see blue smoke in exhaust. Now it all synthetic oil, recommended grade and so called mandatory oil changes every 5,000 or 10,000 km. Another thing was a clogged air filter with worn oil rings meant your engine ended up breathing through PVC valve and would quickly use up the oil in the sump as it tried to source sufficient air from elsewhere. The PCV valve sat on rocker cover meant to circulate unburnt gases that leaked past the oil ring seals.

Next time my tank needs service, I will use the right artillery grease for the turret. No more 3-In-1 oil for me!!

I, as one, have a 1943 3/4 ton weapons carrier, built on top of a 1941 1-1/2 ton four wheel drive military truck ( a short 2-1/2 ton ) With a Ford 390 4-barrel carb engine. All properly lubricated, and running 10.00-20's tires, duels in the back, singles in the front. Michael said that, bye for now my friends.

This film was pretty "slick".

I LOVE these movies.

change your freakin oil people...

Lube it or Lose it.

2 days ago my buddy and I were cruising some back roads and slwe stopped at this creek and I decided to check my oil so i did. there was no oil on the stick so I added 4 quarts and off we went!!. Almost 280k on the truck.

Can't have the military war machine breaking down, keep those things lubricated soldier.

That truck hit a landmine. It was running fine..

Did you get permission from the war department

DAM GOOD VIDEO !!! LOVE THE WAY THIS DUDE EXPLAINS THINGS ! THIS VIDEO IS A 10+😊😊😊

This needs to play (edit out the war bits for the sake of the easily offended) in the waiting room of service shops for people who are entries in "JUST ROLLED IN" due to a lack of this... It describes the necessity in simple terms. It even comes with PICTURES! It would be a disservice to the narrator & crime against humanity to be forced to "dumb it down" further for the true thick skulls out there.

clear and concise. manuals today tell you not to eat tide pods and make tiktoks about it. We let the world go...

Somehow I've been in the millitary two and half years and never been shown a instructional video everything is live or text book

good show.

Tight tolerances,direct injection, and higher output smaller engines demand that maintenance be strictly followed today as it was in the past. I've seen alot of newer vehicles with variable valve timing suffer because of sludge and carbon buildup causing them to not function correctly. It's also become commonplace for cheap filter manufacturers to build subpar filters that do a very poor job at protecting your engine.

''This film will not be shown to the general public without permission from the War Department'' ~ well its now showing in Cuba!😺👍

American military technical books start by teaching you how to use a multimeter to check generators as if those repairing generators are not trained electricians!

What is friction? None of us know what it is! Im dead 😂

👍👍

Could you make the logo even bigger?

Ngula fra.

Did the war department give permission?

13:42 ? Anyone? No one? Come on!

I still don't get it, I guess I won't worry about it.

Now I cant stop saying 'oil globules'

Always take the thurmustat out so you never have overheating problems and buy a stant radiator cap and make sure your lower radiator hose has a spring inside of it

Use Amsoil people!

The block be like. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

22:33

Not Ministery of Defence, but War department. That’s USA

Kendim için not: bunu şunlar için kullanabilirim. Yapay zeka, ingilizce, video kurgu...

And always make sure all gears are timken and the race are American made

Always put one quart of stp oil treatment or motor honey and one gallon of airplane fuel in the tank

war department has entered the chat

Нихрена не понятно но интересно 😮

The commentator doesn’t understand what an explosion is 😂

USA was great then

Quite boring but perhaps very vital.
