b. Engine Oil Filter Change
Recommendations
Replace engine oil filter at the
engine oil change which comes
nearest 6,000 miles or 6 months,
whichever occurs first.
To change, screw filter off the
filter base and discard. Wipe the
gasket area of the base clean and
install a new gasket in the groove
of a new AC type PF-7 filter, or
equivalent. Lubricate the gasket
and screw the filter on the nipple
of the base until the gasket just
touches the base, tighten filter
2/3 turn more. Start engine.
Do not accelerate speed beyond
normal idle until oil pressure is
indicated. Check filter area for
leaks after engine has run for
five (5) minutes. See Figure 1-5.
c. Oil Filler Cap
Remove oil filler cap, wash in
suitable solvent, dry, and dip in
engine oil. Allow to drain while
performing rest of 6,000 mile
checks. Just before installation
dip again in engine oil, allow to
drain, and reinstall.

d. Front Suspension and
Steering Linkage
The Buick front suspension has
been lubricated with a long-effec-
tiveness lubricant at the factory
and should be re-lubricated with
a long-effectiveness lubricant
equivalent to Buick Specification
No. 742 every 6,000 miles or six
months whichever occurs first.
NOTE: If lubricants not intended
for long-effectiveness application
are used, the lubrication interval
should be shortened and should
not exceed 2,000 miles.
Wipe dirt from the lubrication
fittings and apply the lubricant
under pressure at the following
points (Figure 1-1 and 1-2):
Upper Control Arm Shafts (4
fittings)
Upper Ball Joints (2 fittings)
Lower Ball Joints (2 fittings)
Steering Linkage (4 fittings)
e. Manifold Valve Shaft
Place a few drops of "Buick Heat
Trap Lube" or equivalent on shaft
at each end and rotate shaft to
work lubricant into bearings. See
Figure 1-7. Buick Heat Trap
1. Brake Master Cylinder. On
both manual and power brake
jobs, the reservoir is under hood
on left side. (On dash panel.)
Thoroughly clean filler cap nut
before removal to avoid getting
dirt into reservoir. Add fluid as
required to bring level to 1/8"
below top of filler opening. Use
Delco Supreme No. 11 Hydraulic
Brake Fluid or equivalent. Never
use reclaimed fluid, mineral oil
or brake fluids inferior to S.A.E.
standard 70-R-l. See Figure 1-8.
2. Synchromesh Transmission.
Check oil level, after allowing
time for oil to settle. Clean the
