Tighten the Labor
Upon the Battery

By A. H. Sarvis. General Service
Manager, Buick Motor Copany.
There 10 a preventative for every
i'll that cold weather brings to auto
mobiles. Unfortunately. many own
ers do not realize that by taking
ordinary care of their cars. they can
save much trouble and expense.
One of the greatest inconvenience
is found in battery failure due to
cold. This is caused by failure to
prepare the battery for the extra
load that zero weather is bound to
put on it. The battery should be
kept fully charged and filled WITH
water. After filing, the engine
should be run for an hour or so be-
fore being left out in the cold to in
sure the acid and water becoming
thoroughly mixed. Otherwise there
Is a chance Of the fresh water re-
naming on top and freezing. A
weekly inspection of the battery in
winter is not too much. The charg-
ing rate should be increased slightly
to compensate for the extra load.
lightened by using any of the win
ter" gasolines marketed by most oil
companies. These fuels start easier
than the ordinary gas used in sum-
mer. The Oil should be changed
more frequently than in warm
weather, to prevent crankcase dilu-
ton. This evil is caused by the
sweating" of a cold engine, which
allows moisture to gather inside the
cylinders and drain into the oil. Dr.
luton is caused also by too free use
of the choke, which shoots raw gaso.
line into the cylinders. This gaso-
line finds its way to the crankcase
and further thins the oil. II too
much water forms in the oil reser-
voir. 1t remains at the bottom of the
crankcase where the pump is To-
Gated. and may freeze. stalling the
oiling system and resulting in serious
to the engine.
The anti-freeze- mixture in the
radiator should be kept at the proper
proportions to prevent freezing. The
drains away or is lost irons
various causes, and must be renew
ed at regular intervals.
The experience<of the service sta
ton should be utilized by every own
err In preparing his car for cold
weather driving. The fabrication in
the transmission should be tighten.
ed, the carburetor should be adj
justed, the engine oil should be
changed and possibly a tighter grade !
used. These few precautions will |
keep the car operating at its highest |
during cold weather. The /
wise motorist will attend to these
things.
