Lubrication Schedule
SYSTEMATIC lubrication, at regular mileage intervals, is the only kind that
is effective. On page 36 is a complete lubrication schedule, which, if faithfully
followed, will insure correct lubrication for each wearing surface of
the Cadillac car.
The unit of the schedule is 12000 miles, which is divided into twelve 1000-
mile intervals. Corresponding to these is a series of twelve consecutive
groups of lubricating operations. When the car has traveled 1000 miles, the
points enumerated under Lubrication No. 1 should receive attention. At
2000 miles, Lubrication No. 2 is due, and so on until at 12000 miles, Lubrication
No. 12 should be performed. At 13000 miles, the schedule begins again
with Lubrication No. 1.
It will be noticed from the schedule that there are actually only four
different lubrication operations, but that they are numbered according to the
various times that they come due.
Lubrication Notice
In order that the driver may be continually reminded of the mileage at
which the next lubrication is due, the speedometer is provided with a
lubrication notice. This consists of a strip of black celluloid (Fig. 19),
which is placed across the speedometer cover glass below the total mileage
dial and which has two white spaces, one for the
lubrication number and one for the mileage at
which it is due.

Whenever the car is lubricated on the schedule,
the figures then on the celluloid should be erased
and the next lubrication number and the mileage
at which it is due should be written or stamped
in their places. If this notice is used, the driver
need only glance occasionally at the speedometer
and compare the mileage on the dial with the
