Chassis And Body Lubrication - Pontiac 1955 Owner's Manual

Chassis and Body Cubrkation
The Pontiac owner of today
knows that his car should be
lubricated periodically to ob
tain all the value built into
it. However, as with chang
ing engine oil, experience has
shown that the need for this
vital service varies according
to the conditions 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:
DRIVING OVER ROUGH AND DUSTY ROADS-When the car
is driven over rough and dusty roads, more frequent lubrication
might be necessary.
DRIVING 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. -

Your Pontiac should be lubricated in accordance with the lubrication
chart on page 32 and 33 and the instructions given in this section.
