Engine Oil Capacity
Under operating conditions, one quart of oil is retained in the crankcase, in
addition to the five quarts in the reservoir. If the oil reservoir is removed, one quart
of oil should be put into the upper crankcase tray and five quarts in the reservoir.
The quantity of oil in the reservoir can be determined by the bayonet gauge
attached to the filler cap, Figure 1. When the oil level is down to the low mark,
approximately three-quarters of an inch from the bottom of the gauge, three quarts
of oil remain in the reservoir. Two additional quarts are required to bring the level
up to the mark at the top of the "oil level range."
When the reservoir is drained by removal of the drain plug at the rear of the
reservoir, five quarts of oil should be installed through the opening in the left side of
the crankcase, Figure 1.
Always maintain the oil level within the "oil level range" on the bayonet gauge.
EVERY 1,000 MILES
All lubrication fittings and oilers should be
wiped off with a cloth dipped in kerosene
before applying grease gun.
Distributor
The oil cup (A), Figure 2, should be filled
with engine oil every 1,000 miles. The
distributor cap and rotor should be removed
and a few drops of engine oil applied to
wick (B) in the top of the shaft. Apply one
drop of oil on the breaker arm pivot (C), and
apply a light coating of vaseline on the cam
block (D). Avoid over-oiling.
Starting Motor
The front and rear starting motor bearings
are provided with oilers (A) and (B), Fig-
ure 3, and should be lubri¬cated with a few
drops of engine oil every 1,000 miles.
Avoid over-oiling.
The threads on the Bendix drive (C)
should be cleaned occasionally with a
brush and kerosene to remove gum and
dirt. Do not oil, as the kerosene adhering to
the threads will provide sufficient lubrica-
tion for this part.
