amanco drip oller

what is the correct oil to use in the drip feeder to the cylinder   the morris oils look ok but which one thanks

30 Grade is the norm, but any good motor oil would do.

I've only owned my open crank, a Ruston Hornsby, for a few months so I cant really answer that question about your particular engine but there are a couple of others who should know the answer and are on here regularly.

The Associated drip oiler does have a pressure release system. When viewed from the side a thin brass tube should be visible inside the glass.

This is the oiler from my 1914 Hired Man, it is a genuine one stamped on the top by Associated. If yours does not look like this it's possibly a replacement.
