3. MANUAL TRANSMISSION

Check the lubricant level at 2,000 mile or two month

intervals, each time the car is lubricated. Replenish

when the level is below the filler hole. Do not mix lubri-

cants. Drain and refill at 20,000 mile or 2 year intervals.

Multi-Purpose Gear Lubricant or GL-4 Lubricant re-

quires: SAE 80 above -10°F. and SAE 75 below -10°F.

Automatic Transmission Fluid, Type "A", Suffix "A'

may be used as a field option for all climates.

The procedures for performing the 10,000 mile main-

tenance service (or filling after reconditioning) are

not changed but the amount of fluid used in the proc-

ess varies us follows.

Use five quarts in all automatic transmissions as the

initial fill before starting the engine.

After the engine has run at idle for two minutes and

each push button has been depressed at least for two

seconds, add one quart to the TorqueFlite 6 and three

quarts to PowerFlite or TorqueFlite transmissions.

Final addition of fluid should not bring the level

above the "Add One Pint" mark. For PowerFlite the

level can be 1

5. REAR AXLE (Except Sure-Grip)

Check the lubricant level at each 2,000 mile or two

month interval when the lubricant is at operating tem-

perature. Replenish when the level is below the filler

hole.

The approved lubricants are Multi-Purpose lubricants

Rear axles equipped with Sure-Grip differentials re-

quire Sure-Grip Lubricant P/N 1879414. This is an all-

temperature lubricant which should be drained and

refilled at 20,000 mile or two year intervals.

7. DOOR LOCK CYLINDERS

edge of the key. Rotate the lock cylinder several times.

Pull key out and wipe off excess grease. Repeat this

procedure until the key comes out of the cylinder clean.

front door trim pads and apply Lubriplate to the in-

trusion guard pivots. While the trim pad is off, inspect

the vacuum tubing and other parts inside the door.

10. PREPARATION OF NEW CARS

FOR STORAGE

Proper protection of new cars not scheduled for im-

mediate delivery is important to prevent possible fu-

ture difficulty and owner dissatisfaction.

When a car is placed in temporary storage, the en-

gine working parts are subject to corrosion and rust

formation within a short time due to condensation. This

can result in sticking of valves, tappets and rocker

arms and also cause excessive piston ring and valve

guide wear.

To prevent these conditions, the following storage

preparations should be performed :

TorqueFlite

Regardless of the length of time a car is to be stored,

the cooling system should be checked for leaks. Be

sure that sufficient anti-freeze solution is provided to

protect against temperature variations during the stor-

age period. A minimum concentration of 20% glycol

anti-freeze (freezing point +15"
