Re:- Lt. A.B.Shepherd-Cross. Chassis No. 1662.

This owner came to see me this morning. He would be glad to know if you have any experience with an engine lubricating oil named Texaco. He has been using it for a little time now, apparently with satisfactory results.

Provided you were satisfied with the oil, he would like to continue using it, as, owing to the light colour of this oil, he thinks he can tell when it is time to clean out the sump and have fresh oil.
