teristic Of Getting So Hard Thay
Little Lubrieation Gets to
Bearing Surface.

For several years past no wise mo-
torist has used grease as a lubricant
for his transmission. yet many car
owners who ought to know better EN-.
ploy this heavier lubricant. Grease
cannot flow to the bearing surfaces
and I'm the transmission the gears cut
clean path through the grease when
1t is cold and run practically unlubri-
Gated thereafter. In addition, grease
has the unfortunate characteristic of
carrying dirt and foreign matter that
II may pick up. II has distinct draw
backs as a lubricant In any location,
especially In cold weather, when II
ought never to be used. In winter
the grease Is almost certain to be-
come packed against the walls OF any
case In which It Is used, while the
gears operate entirely dry.
when grease is used In cups, II has
the characteristic Of getting hard, so
that the cup cannot be turned down
properly, and little fabrication gets to
the bearing surface for which II Is in
tended.
On practically all cars of any but
the most recent vintage grease cups
are fitted at various locations. II the
owner desires to substitute oil as a
lubricant for the grease he has prac-
tically to replenish the cups every day.
In many cases this would be worth
the increased labor.

little fat until golden. Add three scant
cupfuls Of cooked samp or can Of

Wick Feed Devices.

On the other hand, II may be possi-
BILE to replace the grease cups with
large oil cups having gradual feed.
some Of the newer car models have
been designed with central lubricatine
points and with wick oiling devices,
which require replenishment only once
or twice season. At any rate the
substitution OF oil for grease for al
most any fabrication service will be
benefit to the parts affected.
Naturally different parts Of che me-
chanism require different lubricants,
that is to say. different grades of oil.
For the gears. the transmission, diner
entail and rear axle, a heavy oil will
be the most satisfactory lubricant.
