Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Limb. At one time we used to recommend Wakefield's "S" oil in our gearbox but we have discontinued doing so because this oil is altogether too thick. We should like to know what alternative gear oil of thinner consistency you could recommend us to try. Yours faithfully, For Rolls-Royce Ltd. | ||
