52 CADILLAC OPERATOR'S MANUAL<br />
Before starting the engine, drain the oil from the oil pan and remove<br />
and clean the oil pan and screen. After reinstalling the oil pan, add eight<br />
quarts of fresh engine oil. Fill the cooling system, being sure to use antifreezing<br />
solution in freezing weather. Remove the spark plugs and inject<br />
two or three tablespoonfuls of engine oil into each cylinder. Reinstall the<br />
spark plugs and, with the ignition switched off, crank the engine a few<br />
seconds with the starter to distribute the oil over the cylinder walls.<br />
Start the engine in the usual manner. As soon as the engine starts, immediately<br />
let the carburetor enriching button go as far forward as possible<br />
without causing the engine to stop or slow down materially, and then<br />
open the throttle until the ammeter reads approximately 10 with all lights<br />
switched off. While the engine is running, lift the aluminum cap on top<br />
of the carburetor and inject two or three tablespoonfuls of engine oil into<br />
the carburetor. It is a good plan to run the car outdoors as soon as this<br />
has been done. Release the carburetor enriching button entirely as soon<br />
as the engine is warm enough to permit it.<br />

also a serial number. This is the number to be used in fillingout license<br />
