M37 fluid capacities
Can anyone point me to a list of fluid capacities for the M37 with stock equipment? I found reference to a 6 Qt oil capacity, but can't find transmission oil. If figured while I' at it, I might as well look for the other capacities as well.

TM 9-8030 Operation and Organizational Maintenance has this info. Add in LO-9-2320-212-20 Lubrication Order to show where and when everything goes.
PM me your email address and I'll send you a PDF of the lubrication cheat sheet that I use.

Should that lubrication order be LO-9-2320-212-12 ? I can find a TM with the number you listed (-20), but no an LO. I have a copy of TM-9-2320-212-20. For lubrication, it just refers me to LO-9-2320-212-12. I have not been able to locate a downloadable copy of the Lubrication order. Do you (or anyone else) have leads to that?

Oops. Must be my arthritis acting up again.
Yes, the lube order should be LO-9-2320-212-12.
I'll email you a JPG scan of it.
