If your still awake I have another 36 Austin Seven oiling chart with envelope, this time by Price's MOTORINE and it states "austin motor co recommend Motorine" . Interestingly Prices state gearbox oil capacity at 1.5 pints!
Further to Squeak - I've mentioned this before, so apologies to the "Oldies". Imagine the confusion/damage to clothes etc, if owners followed the 1923 Handbook which said on one page "capacity 2/3 of a pint" and on another "capacity 2 to 3 pints". Cheers, Bill in Oz
