Source For Engine Oil Please

no problem appreciate the input from anyone as long as its constructive or makes me smile.

I am willing to share our search’s for grease’s and oil for our old ladies as it could help others in their similar search’s.

After all the longer we keep old ladies working the more likely we are to use up old stocks of stuff that is no longer being made.

Still looking for ignitor plugs for a Goblin by the way ??

I know my wording is going to bring some comment out of the deep dark woodwork somewhere
relating to old ladies.But the majority of people reading the post will know what I mean.

Sorry Mike – badly worded by me,I was not speculating about the oil being the wrong type – just surprised at the original spec !

OM 71 is the oil spec for the Dh Goblin Jet Engine 1953

Glad you found some oil Mike : )
The old clunkers I used to work on used OM11 as engine oil…I had not heard of OM71 being used on slightly older engines !

Thanks a lot Tony for the info.

In fact I had asked a local oil company off chance that they could get it and th eman came back to me today

and said yes they can get it but I have to buy a 25 litre drum minimum. When he said the price was only £48 plus vat I didnt

argue when you can pay that much nearly for some ordinary motor oil in 5 litre cans.

So if anyone else needs some or similar let me know the number and I will ask the guy he seems linked into a major supplier but it wont have paperwork.

Thanks again

OEP and OM71 are one and the same spec by the Shell book, in case you don’t know, OEP means Oil Extreme Pressure and OM is Oil Mineral.

Don’t say I never give you anything 🙂
