One of our customers at Olympia asked us to ascertain particularly from you your views of Super-Shell Lubricating Oil for Rolls-Royce "Silver Ghost(1907 40/50 historic RAC 15,000 miles trial)" engines. He remarked that, while thinner than Price's, it seems to be very good and causes less carbon.

Will you please let us know what we are to tell him, especially if you have actually tried the oil.
