    Do any of you Gents know the correct grade of oil to use in a Hirth D24.

    Many thanks Andy.

    Hello Andy.
    I believe the correct oil to be straight 30 HD as the oil pump is calibrated to deal with this viscosity. It has always worked well in mine, maybe straight 40 HD would be ok in very hot weather.

    You can fill up to the top of the filler pipe, as fitted to the Howard 700, I am assuming that is what it is fitted to.

    Regards
    Chris
