Does anyone know what Gargoyle Mobiloil HH was used for and what year?
Does anyone have the Gargoyle Mobiloil Chart that shows year and application?

Thanks
TONY

Tony, I have never heard of the "HH" before. Are you sure it is not a "BB" that is somewhat damaged?

I have a chart from around 1947 and will look when I get home

Would be great if you could post a picture:-)

After looking at some pictures of old mobil cans and the types of oil I am guessing "HH" may have stood for "Heavy Heavy". That is just a guess- I did not find a can or any other info on the HH.

Tony I don't have your answer either. My info goes back as far as 1918 but nothing HH. I'm stumped. ;;;;;;;;;;Ron
