Never allow oil level shown on oil level gage to fall below the ADD OIL mark. DO NOT OVERFILL.
Engine Oil Filter The Fram oil filter (on cars so equipped) assists in removing dirt and foreign matter from the oil and is provided with a replaceable filter element.
Under normal conditions the Fram Filter cartridge should be replaced after approximately every 5000 miles (8046 km.) of operation. Severe dust conditions may warrant replacing the cartridge at correspondingly lower mileages.
When it is necessary to replace the cartridge, care should be taken to see that a new cover gasket is installed and that the cover is securely tightened. The cover should also be checked occasionally to make sure that it remains tight.
Engine Oil Renewal Engine oil should be changed at least by the end of the first 1000 miles (1609 km.). After this period the oil should be changed regularly, the frequency depending on the condition of the oil as affected by operating and atmospheric conditions.
Under average driving conditions oil should be changed at 2500 to 3000 mile (4023 to 4828 km.) intervals.
Engine Oil Viscosity “Engine oil viscosity” is a term which indicates, broadly, the “body” of the oil to be used in your engine, although other scientific considerations enter into assigning viscosity numbers to oil.
Change oil filter element every 5000 miles!
Check oil level whenever you buy gasoline!
Generally speaking, you use a thin oil in winter because it flows more freely in cold temperatures than a thick oil. Since, as stated above, the oil in your car’s crankcase, if of good quality, will be useful for many hundreds of miles, it is impractical to change oil more often than necessary. Therefore, we list below the viscosities of engine oil recommended for your car at lowest prevailing temperature generally expected in your locality during the various seasons of the year.
