Gary,
Rolls- Royce changed the specification from SAE 30 to SAE EP 80 gear oil in 1952, as mentioned in Service Bulletin BB169, to deter gear wear.
Apart from this document and amendment slips in later handbooks, this is the only reference.
Make sure that the holes in the top of the dipstick are clear as this is the breather vent. |
