The Pontiac
owner of
today
knows that his car should be
lubricated periodically to
obtain
all the value
built
into
it.
However,
as
with
changing engine oil,
experi-
ence has
shown
that
the
need for
this vital service
varies
according to the con-
ditions under
which
the
car
is driven.
WHEN TO LUBRICATE
-For normal driving
condi-
tions, lubrication is recom-
mended every 2,000 miles.
This applies to all owners
with
exception
of
those driving under the
conditions described below:
Drivin~
Over
Rou~h
and Dusty Roads-When the car is
driven
over rough
and
dusty roads, more frequent lubrication might be
necessary,
Drivin~
in Slush, Water or Muddy Roads-Cars
driven
through
slush (melting
snow),
water or on
muddy roads should be lubricated
at
more frequent intervals, due to the washing effect of the water
on
the lubricant in front suspension parts
and
the
clutch and
brake
pedal
shafts.
Low Mileage Driving-Some
owners
drive their cars
very
little and
accumulate
mileage
slowly.
It is
good
practice for these owners
to
have
their
cars lubricated
every
1,000
miles.
High Mileage Driving-For the person who operates his car
over
500
miles
per
week under
favorable
conditions, lubrication
once
a
month is
suggested.
LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Your Pontiac should be lubricated in accordance
with
the lubrication
chart
on pages 32 and
·33
and the
instructions given in this
section.
