Engine oil recommendation label
For Canadian cars, there was this label for oil recommendations. There is a picture below, I am referring to the bottom label. I need one for my 73 restoration. I need to get one of these made, but I am not sure of the actual size. If anyone has a Canadian car with this label, or knows the overall size, I would appreciate what it is. Thank you.

We are probably guessing what year since none was listed but due to my extensive data library of 68-82 codes, the WJ emission sticker suggests a 1973 YF5 California emissions L48 Corvette. 
However...no clue where to get one.

It is for my 73. But I am talking about the bottom label. I need to know the actual overall length and width of the label, so I can reproduce it, since it is not available.

Sarge, I saw an original oil sticker on a '69 last June and never thought to measure or even take a pic. Sorry!
You can buy this one, it's the closest I've seen

If you have that 'top' label, just transfer measurements from that sticker in the photo to calculate a "proportion factor" when compared to the actual label. Then, its just a matter of measuring lettering size and label dimensions from the lower label and multiplying them by that factor to obtain the needed 'actual' measurements. Surely, that will be close enough to duplicate that label in a graphics software program.
Otherwise, that referenced aftermarket label looks pretty close to the original.
