The Rover Company attaches very great importance to the nature of the lubricants used in its products and therefore maintains tests of those which it recommends.
Because of the extensive nature of these tests they cannot be carried out upon more than a strictly limited number of different makes. Consequently The Rover Company currently confines its recommendations to those set out below.
Should for any reason such lubricants not be available in certain overseas territories, the Rover Distributor or Dealer for that territory should obtain specific guidance from The Rover Company, or owners may communicate with the Company where they so wish.
The attention of owners is drawn to the fact that the use of lubricants, other than those recommended, could in certain circumstances affect the settlement of claims put forward under the terms of the Company's guarantee.
The following chart gives the complete range of lubricants which are currently recommended by The Rover Company. These recommendations apply only to engines and other units in good mechanical condition.
These recommendations apply to temperate climates where operational temperatures may vary between approximately 10 degrees F (-12 degrees C) and 90 degrees F (32 degrees C).
Information on recommended lubricants for use under extreme winter or tropical conditions can be obtained from The Rover Co. Ltd., Technical Service Department.
Oil additives
The oils selected for engine, gearbox and axle, etc., for Rover cars are complete in themselves and afford every protection. A warning is necessary against the use of anti-friction additives or other products in these units, as in certain circumstances these might materially impair the character of the lubricant in use.
