Opposite Y.M.CA Lubrication in one lesson 'X^OU can learn all you need to know about car lubrica 1 tion in one lesson," says the Fleet Boss. "There are just four rules. Standardize on 'Standard' Polarine. Get I he right consistency. Use enough. Change it often." The correct consistency of oil or grease for crank-case, trans mission and rear axle has been chartcd for every make of car and truck. If you are not-sure whether yea are using the right one ask your dealer to show you his "Standard" Polar ine Chart. Then, wherever you go, ask for that consistency by name. If you expect your engine to be on the job whenever you need it, it is up to you to make sure of it. Buy your oil on a quality basis. Change it at least every 500 miles. Years of experience have shown that to be about the limit of safety. Under average conditions the very best of crank -case oil col lects enough road grit and unburnt fuel in 500 miles to im pair seriously the lubrication of pistons and main bearing*. So when you change, change! To leave any dirty and diluted oil where it must be used over and over again is to ruin the fresh oil you put in, even a high quality oil like "Standard" Polarine.
