Lewis Garner Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hi all, We were told this was 20-50 engine oil. Can anyone confirm this? Best regards, Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) Stencilling looks a bit amateurish! It should have a MOD classification & a NATO one. http://www.hmvf.co.uk/pdf/POLcompact.pdf Edited May 14, 2010 by fv1609 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hi all, We were told this was 20-50 engine oil. Can anyone confirm this? Lewis, This is what is known as a Reference oil, for development testing of engines in laboratories and test beds. Not for vehicle use! The stencil marking is a bit smudged, but it lines up with ER-9, which was actaully a 10W/30 grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Garner Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 Hi chaps, Thanks very much for that. I would hazard a guess it's a heavier weight than 10W but you could well be right. It was definitely worth asking on here before any damage was done, so thanks again. Regards, Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
