Humber FV1600

Ok Brains trust,
Changing the gearbox oil in the Humber, smells like it is Gear oil, but wonder if it should be running SAE 30 (Engine Oil) like the Champ does. The user manual helpfully says to use the correct oil, but no list of what this would be.
A point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Rich.

Oh yes should be SAE 30. At a show in rain parked next to 20+ Champs!!!!!!

Clive, knew you would know. Thanks for the prompt reply.
Take it your at the UK version of Champ Camp? If so give my regards to Andrew W, and tell Jonathan to buy another Humber.

I dropped hints about another Humber, but they are all getting excited about next years 60 years of Champs. Even some of you are coming over & from many countries. I wish this sort of enthusiasm extended to Humbers. If you want a Humber fix look at Rogers 1601 metal repairs on the FV1600 forum. Superb.

All those jealous Champ owners Clive. We all know they would rather a Humber. Yes a few Aussies will be over your way for the 60th, remains to be seen if I will be one of them.
See the Humber Forum has a new Moderator...........
The panel work on Rogers Humber is mighty impressive.

When they grow up they'll want to be Humbers

Clive, I have read at length your article on ignition (Excellent), and am interested in fitting the same electronic ignition from Jolley Eng. Are you still just as happy with it?
Anyone else out there done something similar with a B60.
