LUBRICATION<br />
Service Information<br />
1. Extreme Pressure Lubricants for Rear<br />
Axle and Transmission<br />
There are on the market gear lubricants known<br />
as extreme pressure lubricants which are designated<br />
by the letters "E.P." following their S.A.E.<br />
classification.<br />
These lubricants have been developed for the<br />
lubrication of gears. Some of these lubricants<br />
should not be used in units that have bronze parts,<br />
as they produce an etching action on bronze and<br />
will cause it to corrode under severe conditions.<br />
Other "E.P." lubricants, however, have been<br />
developed that are satisfactory from the standpoint<br />
of corrosion.<br />
As all <strong>Cadillac</strong> and LaSalle cars have bronze<br />
parts in the transmission and later cars have<br />
bronze thrust washers in the differential, extreme<br />
pressure lubricants should not be used unless<br />
approved by the <strong>Cadillac</strong> Motor Car Company.<br />
2. Thinning Gear Lubricant with Kerosine<br />
Gear lubricant for the transmission and differential<br />
need be thinned only at the beginning of<br />
cold weather if a sufficient quantity of kerosine is<br />
added to take care of the lowest expected temperature.<br />
The lubricant for the steering gear<br />
should not be thinned.<br />
3. Special Items for Lubrication Schedule<br />
The<br />
following items cannot be placed on the<br />
regular 1000-mile schedule, so they should be performed<br />
at the recommended intervals.<br />
Every week—Check tire pressure; check level<br />
of liquid in radiator.<br />
When cold weather starts—Replace lubricant<br />
in rear axle and transmission, except 452-D transmission,<br />
with lighter lubricants or thin the summer<br />
lubricant with kerosine.<br />
The engine oil should be drained and replaced<br />
with lighter oil as specified or thinned with the<br />
proper amount of kerosine.<br />
Flush radiator and add anti-freeze solution in<br />
proportions recommended in the Cooling System<br />
Section.<br />
At" beginning of warm weather—Drain light or<br />
thinned lubricant in rear axle, transmission (except<br />
452-D transmission) and engine and replace with<br />
fresh lubricant of the proper viscosity for summer<br />
driving.<br />
Every 6000 miles—Check level of special fluid in<br />
shock absorbers.<br />
Clean carburetor air cleaner. This should be<br />
done more often when the car is driven continuously<br />
on dusty roads or when considerable dust is<br />
in the air.<br />
Every 6000 miles—-Remove plug at bottom of<br />
oil filter on <strong>Cadillac</strong> V-12 and V-16 cars and drain<br />
out sludge. This can be done on the car.<br />
Every 12,000 miles—Remove and clean engine<br />
oil pan and screen.<br />
