Wakefield Hi Press Oil.
Rear Axle All Cars.

Will you please ensure that no oil from the last three 50 gallonsbarrels of Hi Press delivered to our order 43718 is used until you hear further from us.

We understand that inspite of this you will not be short of oil until we have discussed our problems with Wakefields.
