RECOMMENDATIONS
USE THE RIGHT FUEL
• Generally, the
gr~des
of fuel reeo.m·
mended will provide satisfactory.engme
performance. However, if "pinging" or
spark "knock" occurs and cannot be cor-
rected by spark timing or other engine
adjustments, change to the next higher
grade of fuel.
• If you plan to drive your car outside the
United States or Canada ask your tra-
vel agent or auto club about the quality
of gasoline available in the area you ex·
pect to visit.

USE THE RIGHT MOTOR OIL
Oil Ouality
By law, a111968 U.S. vehicles are equipped
with air pollution control systems. To
maintain effective operation of these sys-
tems use of a high grade motor oil with
some new characteristics is essential. Ford
6000 Mile Motor Oil is fonnulated to
meet these requirements.
If
you prefer
to use another brand, you should insist
that the oil used meet the new Ford
Motor Company perfonnance specifica·
tion, 101·B.
Oil Viscosity
When you change or add oil, you should
select oil with the proper specifications
and with the viscosity, selected from the
table below, which most closely matches
the temperature range you expect to en·
counter for the next 6 months or 6000
miles.
