Replying to Tr{Capt. F. W. Turner - Finance}/GST.{G. S. Townsend}5/WP.17.3.36. In the Summer we should recommend that Mr. Whitley uses Mobiloil BB in his car, and in the Winter Mobiloil A.{Mr Adams} With regard to petrol, really our only advice is to get the best obtainable. The car will run satisfactorily on leaded fuels, which are almost universally used in the U.S.A. We should recommend that he takes a set of the latest sparking plugs with him.
