CLEAN DEPOSITS
FROM OIL BASE
Sediment and Muck Accumulate
Much Faster Than the Car
Owner Ever Imaglnes.
NASTY BUT NECESSARY JOB
Small lumps Of Carbon From cyIin-
ders, Sand From Road and Metal
TurnIngs Have Been Found
Give Engine Needed Care.

(By WILLIAM II. STEWART, JR., Pres
ident of the Stewart Automobile
School)
What world OF trouble you are
storing up for yourself If you do not
drop the oil base and clean 1t. Sedi-
ment and muck accumulate faster than
you think and sooner or later you will
have ruined engine on your hands.
II Is not sufficient to change the oil
regularly. as advised by the manufac-
turer. The oil base should he taken
down and the deposits removed occa-
sionally.
Nature OF Accommodations.
The hrst time you do this you will
be surprised at the nature of the ac-
cumulations. Small humps of carbon
from the cylinders sand from the road.
even particles Of metal turnings left
there when you car came from the
factory, have all been found in the
oil base. But worst of all is the thick
muck of burnt oil and carbon which
covers the bottom and sides. The grit
and other particles are heavy and sink
to the bottom, but the muck remains
even after the base is drained of the
old oil.
The advice usually given to the mo-
torfst may he summed up as follows !:
Drain out NIL the old oil. replace the
plug and fill to the usual level with
kerosene. Run the engine not more
than 80 seconds, and then drain the
oil base. Repeat If thought necessary.
This stlrs up the muck and sediment.
which runs out with the kerosene. In
this way the base and bearings arc
cleaned with minimum of effort and
without removing the crank case"
Grit splashed Around.
"Stir 1t upi" Indeed, the grit
which should lie dormant until scraped
out by hand is stirred up and splashed
all around the crank case and also
carried into the bearings. 1t forms n
fine grinding compound, which either
shortens the life of the bearings or
clogs up the oil holes, causing the bear
lngs to run dry. The result is even
worse If the oiling system Is one of
the present type forcing oil through a
hollow crank-shaft directly into the
bearings. Right into the bearings,
mind you and under pressure. too
Can anyone defend this method after
realizing what this means? It is not
sufficient answer to say that the oil
must pass through a strniner
So although 1t is a dirty job and a
disagreeable one to remove the crank
case for proper cleaning. it is the only
way to give your engine the care it
really needs.

TAKE CARE OF AUTO
BATTERY IN WINTER
Delicate Piece Of Apparatus

Many automobile owners do not real

The battery is delicate piece of ap-
paratus and IL mistreated will very
quickly depreciate.
Two things are of prime impor-
tance: The battery should be kept
fully charged and 1t should not be al
lowed to freeze. A battery when
standing Idle for any length of time
gradually loses its charge. Therefore
IL the car Is not run regularly during
the winter. in order to keep the bat
terry fully charged. the engine should
be run at regular periods to charge,
or else the battery should be charged
from an outside source of current.
This should be done every two or
three weeks. The state of charge can
be easily read from specific gravity
hydrometer syringe. which can be pur-
chased for about 81 from an auto sup
ply dealer. "A reading of from 1850
to 1,300 indicates full charge. The
reading is indicated by the numbers

If the battery is fully charged 1t is
not apt to freeze when the tempera-
tire is above zero. Fahrenheit. 1t is
best, however, to take the battery from
the car and Into the house In extremely
cold weather.
External charging can be done from

to limit the current going into the bat
