contd :- -2- Fatty oil content - 'C' 4.7% 'BB' 0.80% Total acidity - 0.3% 0.17% Mineral acids - Negligible. Negligible. We have not experienced piston squawks on experimental 20 HP. cars, neither was it reported in the 10,000 miles test on production cars. If we use a mineral oil we should recommend we buy from a British Firm; both Vacuum and Valvoline are U.S.A. Firms. We also recommend that if we have a fault which is due to the oil, we should take the matter up with Prices before condemning their product. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
