LUBRICATION
The subject of lubrication is one of the most important items we deal with in
this manual. Upon the interest displayed by the car owner on this subject,
in co-operation with his Hudson dealer, depends the amount of trouble-free
service he will derive from his car.
Your Hudson dealer is supplied with factory-approved lubrication methods and
specifications, and he only should be consulted on matters of lubrication.
The various units of the car require different types of lubricants and only those
grades specified should be used. Heavier lubricants tend to cause friction by
virtue of their inability to penetrate the close clearances between bearings.
Lighter than specified lubricants tend to break down under loads applied to the
closely fitted parts and will eventually result in premature replacement of
parts.
