Ah, those were the days.

Every morning, check your oil level and replenish the oil that had dripped out over night.

Some of us still do,Steve..

that's one of the things I love about my volvo - it might be big, heavy and slow, but as well as being safe it also hasn't lost one single drip of any type of fluid in the two years I've owned it.  which is definitely a novelty for me

 

mind you it does use a lot of petrol.. swings and roundabouts

...or is that abused?

During the war, the Canadian Ford "3Toners" became notorious heavy oil consumers and because a convoy of oil barges sank during the invasion of Normandy, for them, oil became more important than fuel.

 

Regulations stated that "The oil level is to be checked daily and before the vehicle is moved, must be at the correct level". 

 

After a week, despite eking out their ration, most of the trucks in my father's Regiment were technically 'grounded', and this quandary produced several suggestions such as draining oil from some vehicles to replenish others, but my father solved the problem by posting an Order that  "All vehicles will be parked overnight in such a way that their dipstick reads full in the morning"
