MASS TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION - MILITEC REPORT
JUNE 2, 2000
[Note: Phil George was project manager for this study of Militec-1 for his agency, a mass transit administration on the East Coast. He stipulated that the report not carry the name of the agency as it was intended for internal use. Contact information can be obtained from Militec, Inc.]

Subject: Militec Report - Conclusion
1. The Product:
Militec is added to oil but yet it is not an oil additive. The oil is used to carry the product through the equipment it is being used in. There are no particulates or resins within the product which can seriously damage engines and other equipment. Unlike products with Teflon coating that can peel off and clog filters, Militec treats the metals of the engine with a molecular bond that will not separate from the metal. It will remain effective up to 15,000 miles.It does not change the characteristics of the primary oil. The M.S.D.S. was submitted to our safety department and approved for use.
Operations personnel of a federal law enforcement agency (Agency name could not be used) found Militec provides for continued operation of their weapons in difficult environments and greatly reduces jamming. Militec is now their primary weapons lubricant.
Private companies and public operations (General Motors, Dupont, McDonnell Douglas,Alcoa, Allied SignalAerospace, Amoco) have tested and evaluated Militec. Militec met the qualification requirements and is certified and approved for the United States Navy. Information and results are available upon request.
2. Testing & Evaluation:
There have been two tests and evaluation now completed here at M.T.A. The first was in the fall of 1995. This was controlled and monitored by Quality Assurance. The first sampling after Militec was added indicated an overall drop of 63% in iron and an overall drop of 79% in copper. The second test indicated an overall drop of 13% in iron after the first sampling and a 28% drop in iron after the second sampling. Copper had an overall drop of 56.9% after the first sampling and a 79.8% drop after the second sampling. The bus divisions completed the second, and larger test. It was still monitored by Quality Assurance. Overall there was a drop in iron and copper for the four bus divisions.
3. Concerns or Risks:
There were some engine changes or semi overhauls after Militec was added to the engines. It was a concern if adding Militec could possibly be detrimental to engines, or cause premature failures. After reviewing the overall numbers of engine changes and semi overhauls, it is my opinion the adding of Militec was not detrimental to engine life. There is, however, the strong possibility that adding Militec to the engine could very well have saved some engines from failure.
There were six groups of buses which had a minimum of twenty percent (20%) or more that had the Militec product added. The total amount of buses in this population is 302. The population has two separate groups. The group with the Militec has ninety four (94)buses. The other group (control group) has two hundred eight (208) buses in it.
