Hi Pierrick, You can get all the engine parts from http://www.villiersservices.co.uk/ if you look at there web site there is the address and phone number ect. I'm not sure about the oil but I think Blob will be able to help you with that. Cheers,   Bob

Taken from the 3T operating instruction book, not sure what the modern equivalent is.

Mike, I think he means the gearbox/chaincase oil.   Bob

The 3T operating instruction book lubrication chart recommends: Gearbox=Castrol XL (SAE30) and Chain case=Castrolite (SAE20)
I can always scan the Frisky Sport manual which has a more precise chart, but I still don’t know what the modern equivalents are.

There are many oil producers that still retail 'straight' 20 & 30.  In the UK, Millers are probably the most common supplier and I use their 20 & 30 in my Villiers engines, 40 in the Heinkel/Trojan and 90 in the Schmitt and Nobel.  See further details on www.millersoils.net
Most agricultural suppliers will stock 'staright' oils as they are still used in tractors and farm machinery
