ADDING OIL BETWEEN
CHANGES-Since
the lubrication
system
in a Pontiac is a
full pressure
system,
it
is not necessary to
keep oil level up to
the
"full" mark.
It
is
only necessary to keep oil level above the
"add oil" mark. As shown in
the ill
ustra-
tion, it takes
two
quarts to bring the oil
level from
"add
oil"
to
"full"
. Each time
the
gas tank
is
filled, the
oil
level
should
be checked.
However,
it is good economy
to let the oil
level
approach
the "add oil"
mark
before
having your oil changed.
(Always
be
sure the crankcase is up to the
"full" mark
before
starting out on a long
drive.)
OIL CLEANER-An
oil cleaner is built into the
crankcase of
your
engine
to prolong the life
of
the car.
I. Being a precipitation
type cleaner,
there is no filter element to
replace
and the cleaner is built
into
the
crankcase of
the
engine at
the factory. However, the
sediment bowl
and
screen of the oil
cleaner
can
be
removed for
cleaning.
2.
All
the
oil passes
through the
cleaner
before
reaching
the
oil
pump and
other
working parts.
I
3. Particles
of
grit
and metal that
are harmful to bearings are very
effectively
removed.
The
Pontiac
Oil Cleaner will not
clarify
oil
by removing
discolora-
tion formed chemically within
the
oil
itself,
and
which
experience
has shown is not
harmful
to bear-
ings or
other
moving
parts.
EXTERNAL OIL
CLEANER-
External
type
oil
filters
or cleaners
ore
not
necessary or desirable on
Pontiac
cars and
no
provision
has
been
made
for their installation.
