Station Wagon-Apply
light oil
to
lower rear gate hinges every
2,000 miles.
Battery-
The level of the solution in your battery should be kept
at least to the bottom of the vent well. Check
this
level at regular
lubrication intervals, and more frequently in extremely warm
weather. Add distilled water to bring the battery solution to proper
level whenever necessary.
CAUTION: Battery fumes
are inflammable and toxic.
LUBRICATION
WITH
SPRING AND FALL TUNE-UP-OR
EVERY
10,000
MILES-The
units of your car discussed below
should be lubricated every Spring and
Fall-
or every 10,000 miles.
This
service is included in your Pontiac
Dealer's Tune-up
Diagnosis.
The
lubrication of
these
units is just as important
to
long car
life as
those items
receiving
the
regular 2,000 mile
lubrication.
Since
these
units do not require frequent
lubrication, they are
often missed
or forgotten entirely
as
they require "getting into" your engine
mechanically.
Distributor Lubrication-There are
four places to lubricate
inside
the distributor.
They
include
the
cam, rotor
wick,
breaker-point
pivot, and
breaker
plate
fell.
They
do
not
require much
attention,
but
as with your home appliances, they
do need some lubrication to give
max'
i mum service.
Every
spring or
fall,
or
.
10,000
miles, apply
a
trace
of
petrolatum
on
the
cam,
a
drop of
light
engine oil on the
rotor
wick, and
breaker-point
pivot, and 4 or
5 drops
to
the movable
breaker plate
felt. (Add
at
edge of
plate
so oil runs down on
felt
between
movable
and
fixed breaker
plates.)
Carburetor Accelerator Pump
Arm-Use
light
engine oil on
eight
cylinder carburetor pump arm. No lubrication
is required
on
the
six cylinder
carburetor.
Cleaning Oil Filler Cap and Carburetor Air
Cleaner-
Cleaning
of
the carburetor air
cleaner
and the crankcase ventilator inlet,
which is
built
into the oil filler cap, is included
in
the Tune-up
Diagnosis which should be performed in the Spring and
Fall
or
every 10,000
miles.
If
the
Heavy Duty air cleaner is used, the
crankcase
breather
outlet
should also be cleaned. However, if
the
car
is
operated
in areas where
dust conditions are bad, clean
the
carburetor air cleaner and oil
filler
cap
every 2,000 miles_
Underseat Heater Air Valve Lever

on
defroster
air
