in Preparing and Tuning Cars
for Season's Use
Spring is here and owners are beginning to put
their cars into commission for the season. We are,
therefore, devoting this number of THE HUDSON
OWNERS' BULLETIN to suggestions which may
be found useful at this time. These suggestions are
intend for owners who have had their cars in storage
or are tuning them up after the winter's use, but they
are also in tended for our new owners who are re-
ceiving their can and preparing them for the first
time for the season's use.
It has been well said that most of the present day
cars will give good service and satisfaction if they
receive proper care and attention. At present it is the

period en route to a foreign port, we suggest that
you read these instructions carefully before starting
your motor.
"An extended period of inaction will result in the
oil being forced out of the bearings. If the cars are in
a cold warehouse or garage and are started up and
run at this temperature, serious damage to the
bearings is liable to result. The motor must be filled
up with an excess of oil so it will circulate
immediately and be thrown by the splash into the
pockets, through the main bearings and up into the
cylinders. It is advisable that hot kerosene and a
little
lubricating oil should be poured into the cylinder to
break the gummed, and perhaps rusty condition of
the cylinder walls due to condensation. It is
impossible to prevent these conditions when the
cars are put in storage and therefore these
precautionary methods are most essential in regard
to the motor!'
It is also advisable, if the car is equipped with
an electric starter, to turn the motor over three or
four times with the hand crank before using the
