The Standard Oil Company has pre-
pared charts and given directions for
the proper fabrication of different
makes of cars which will be run from
time to time for the benefit of car
owners. The first of the series so to
be u is on the Chevrolet car of

Engine-23-x. Daily, or every 100
miles, pour into crankcase oil reser-
voir through filler pipe sufficient fresh
Zerolene No. 5 CORNER designation
Heavy to fill reservoir to proper
level. On Model 400 there are two
oil try cocks on left side of crank
case. Oil level should never be above
h upper try cock and should not be
allowed to get below the lower one.
On Model FB, oil level gauge consists
of a metal rod, which a be with
drawn from the left side of crank
case. Oil level should never be above
"full' mark OF this rod, and best re-
suits will be obtained if the oil level
Is maintained between full and
half full" marks on the gauge. To
get a correct reading of the oil level
gauge, the automobile should be ap-
proXimately level and the engine not
running. When engine is running, the
oil pressure indicator on dash should
show pressure which will vary with
the speed and temperature of the en-
CINE. If no pressure is registered, the
indication is lack of oil in crankcase,
oil pump not working properly, or
some obstruction of break in oil pas
sages. The engine should immediate
ly be stopped and the trouble located
and remedied.
At regular intervals, as recommend
ed by the manufacturer, or, in the alb
sence of such instructions, every $50
miles, the oil in the c~rankcase reser-
voir should be entirely renewed in
the following manner First, remove
drain plug in bottom of c~rankcase, al
lowing all old oil to drain. This should
preferably be done when engine is
warm, as the old oil when heated will
drain faster, and less of it will adj
here to the inner surfaces of the
~crankcase. Next, replace drain plug
and pour four quarts of Calol Flush
ing Oil into crankcase through filler

CINE under it's own power at a moder-
ate idling speed for from one to two
minutes, by which time all oil pas
sages and inner surfaces will have
been cleansed by the action of the
flushing oil. Again remove drain
plug and when certain that crankcase
is thoroughly drained, replace plug
and refill crankcase reservoir with
fresh Zerolene Oil as specified Appro-
Ximately five quarts of oil are requir-
ed for Model 400, and six quarts for
Model FB. When filling the reser-
voir through filler pipe, care should be
taken that no foreign matter is carri-
ed into the engine with the fresh oil.
Valve Rocker Arms-8-H. Daily, or
every 100 miles, put a few drop of
Zerolene No. 5 in end of each valve
rocker arm which carries an oil felt,
and a few drops of oil on each rocker
arm center bearing. At the same
time a few drops of oil should be
squnted on each of the valve stems.
Electric Starting Motor-9-J. Ev-
cry 100 miles use squirt "a to ap-
ply a few drops of Zerolene No. 5
through oil holes to armature shaft
bearings. Also supply a few drops
of oil to motor pinion shaft.
Electric Generator-7--G. Every $50
miles use squirt can to apply a few
drops of Zerolene No. 5 through oil
holes to armature shaft bearings.
