Posted this question on an Olds site, but no help. I have a 72 442 W30 that was exported to Canada when new. The assembly manual shows a decal on the left valve cover and it has some info about what oil to use. and it specifically says for Canadian export.

There is a reproduction of a decal available, but it has the wrong part number, and at the bottom and references GM Oshawa, where the Olds car assembled in Canada came from. My car was built in Lansing, Mi.

I guess I'm thinking that the export decal would have Lansing on the bottom, and that is the difference re the part number?

Is this similar for Chevy or Pontiac? Any Canadian car guys able to help?

That's how the reproduction decal reads. Do you guys think it reads the same at the bottom even for a car assembled in the States and exported to Canada?

I guess nobody would really notice, it's just that according to the assembly manual, this goes right on the valve cover, so it's right there in your face.

Thanks for the help!
