Lubrication - Volvo 164 1972 Owner's Manual

SERVICING
LUBRICATION
Chassis mainlenance
To simplify maintenance of your Volvo, the
vehicle has been equipped with ball joints,
steering rods and propeller shafts of such
a construction that they do not require re-
gular lubrication. This has been possible
due to the fact that points that normally
require lubricating have been packed with
very durable grease at the factory and
then carefully sealed, this obviating the
need for subsequent lubrication.
Oil should be changed or the oil level
checked after every 6000 miles (10000 km)
in accordance with the lubricating chart at
the end of the book. The measures taken
in this inspection are also to be found in
the lubricating chart.
Always use only first-class lubricants of a
well-known make. The right lubricants in
the right quantity at the right time will in-
crease both the lifetime and the reliability
of your ear.

Lubricate body
To avoid rattle and unnecessary wear, the
body should be lubricated once a year.
The hinges on the hood, doors and trunk
lid as weil as door stops should be lubri-
cated every 6000 miles (10000 km). During
the wintertime, the locks in the door hand-
les and trunk lid should also be given
reliable anti-freeze to prevent them from
freezing' up.
