It is not advisable to mix MIL-L-7808 and ML-L-23699 oils except in cases of emer-
gency. If it becomes necessary, the system must be flushed after 6 hours of operation.

Nearly all present day lube oils contain anti-foam additives which can settle to the bot-
tom of the container. Thoroughly shake (agitate) the container prior to adding oil to the
system either at an oil change or during routine servicing.
