LUBRICATION 1 - 1
The present day high speed driving, fast acceleration,
and precision fitted engine parts have placed engine and
chassis lubrication in the category of highly specialized
services.
A definite plan of application is necessary to provide
the various working surfaces with the right amount of the
correct lubricant at the proper time.
