Richard Farrant Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 hi, You are correct in SAE 30 for the engine, go for a classic/vintage type as it is low detergency and suits the oil system on a 28hp. The gearbox oil you quote, C600, was a SAE140 grade, quite heavy and it was superceeded later in the war (see later Bedford books) to Hypoid 90 ( or EP90 in modern speak). Hope this is of help.

rampant rivet Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Cheers Richard thought it would be something like that, I have a small oil refinery close to me who will provide any / all types and grades of oil which comes in handy :cheesy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
