Bearing place was no help with the oil, but i got some 0.4mm gasket paper.
Bursons were no help with the oil. When you have to let the service clerk know that 'we dont sell shell oil' is not an appropriate response, you have books for this sort of thing, you can not really expect to get any help.
Driving past a place and it have a big mobil oil sign. Had to ring a bell and the lady buzzed me in. Guy at the top of the stairs had all sorts of books. Dentax C is a 140 grade oil. 460 API i think it was. GL-2. 'but we only sell it in 20L'. he seemed t o think i could just use the spirax that i had as the sulphur is only an issue if there is water present, but i didnt want to chance it.
Went to the mower shop. No clue there.
Went to the oil place i usually get my engine oils from (western oil in Berkshire road Sunshine) he did a bit of a check. Got one of the guys to come down out of the office. He showed me the chart in the book. Spiral drive gear oil. Blah Blah, they just happend to have an opened (damaged) 205L drum of mobil 600 series oil which is just the stuff i need. So im grabbing 5L of it. $33.
Apparently a close close match to it is the roadranger oil. It comes in 90 and 140 weights. But its synthetic and only comes in 205 or 20L. Hellishly expensive too.
