The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
How can I get the oil reservoir refilled?
1 of 8: By using the bottle of motor oil that's stored nearby.
2 of 8: Get onto the cable car and look on the side that's opposite the lever.
3 of 8: Click on the small crate's hand icon to get a close-up, then cut its ropes with something.
4 of 8: The pocket knife would work for that, as would another nearby tool.
5 of 8: Check the tool chest that's near the cable car to find a pair of cutting pliers.
6 of 8: Once the crate's ropes are cut, you can click on it to open it.
7 of 8: Take the bottle of motor oil from it, then select it in inventory.
8 of 8: Get the motor's close-up again, then click on the oil reservoir's cap (if you haven't already). After it's off, you can click on the opening to pour in the oil.
