Interesting that the factory workshop manuals do not specify a particular
product or brandâ?¦.
Basic Reasons:
1. Unless absolutely essential, the company policy was not to recommend any one
product over another except for things such as oils and fuel octane ratings
which latter are calculated still in two different ways.
2. Some products are known in only a few markets and not all of them. Company
was supplying product to over 100 different markets.
3. The cars were only designed to last for a maximum period of 10 years, so why
bother as mostly the cars would be maintained by the dealers for all but the
simplest tasks.
Yes, I remember each car handbook described how to set valve clearances and
ignition timing whereas today, the handbook in my wifeâ??s new car points out
the dangers of drinking battery acid.
I do recall some manuals and service bulletins called for a sealant called
DumDum - and of course, few people if any outside the U.K. have ever heard of
DumDum. Even this list has speculated on it!
