ENGINE OIL LEVEL - The level should be
checked each time you purchase gasoline. The
oil level gauge is located on the left side of the
engine.
FIGURE 3
For normal operation, the oil level is satisfac-
tory when it is within the "Oil Level Range."
For high speed operation, the level should be
maintained near the full mark. (Top line on the
"Oil Level Range.") Figure 3.
To make an accurate check, it is best to wait a
minute or two after shutting off the engine to
permit the oil to drain back into the reservoir
(oil pan). Oil is added through the oil filler
opening by removing the filler cap.

reservoir should be drained and refilled with
new oil of good quality. If the car is operated
constantly in dusty areas or for short distances at
low speeds during cold weather, which permits
foreign matter and sludge to accumulate, it
should be changed more frequently. However,
the actual change period is largely dependent on
the individual driving circumstances.
NOTE: Darkening or discoloration of oil does
not always mean that it is unsatisfactory. But
evidence of dilution or dirt is good indication
that the oil should be changed and the filter
cartridge should be replaced.
CAUTION: The use of flushing oils or com-
pounds is not recommended. However, in the
event they are used, the oil reservoir should
be thoroughly drained before installing new
oil.
ENGINE OIL CAPACITIES - The total engine
oil capacity is 5-1/2 quarts. When the oil is drained
in the conventional manner, the refilling quantity is
