lUBRICATION
/1
ENGINE LUBRICATION
Engine oil should be selected to give the best per-
formance under the climatic and driving conditions in
the territory in which your Vega
is driven.
During warm
or hot weather, an oil which will pro-
vide adequate lubrication under high operating tem-
peratures
is required.
During the colder months of the year, an oil which
will permit easy starting at the lowest atmospheric
temperature likely to be encountered, should be used.
When the engine
is drained and refilled, the engine
oil should be selected, not on the basis of the existing
teinperature at the time of the change, but on the lowest
temperature anticipated for the period during which
the oil
is to be used.
Unless the engine oil
is selected on the basis of vis-
cosity or fluidity at the anticipated temperature, diffi-
culty in starting will be experienced at each sudden
drop in temperature.
SAE Viscosity Oils
SAE Viscosity Numbers indicate only the viscosity
or
body of the oil, that is, whether an oil is a light or a
heavy body oil, and do not consider
or include other
properties or quality factors.
6
www.PlandeGraissage.org

The lower SAE Viscosity Numbers, such as SAE 5W SAE
lOW which represent the light body oils, are recommended for
use during cold weather to provide easy starting and instant lubri-
cation. The higher SAE Viscosity Numbers such as SAE 30 and
SAE 30W, which represent heavier body oils, are recommended
for use during warm
or hot weather to provide improved oil econ-
omy and adequate lubrication under high operating temperatures.
Oils are available which are designed to combine the easy start-
ing characteristics of the lower SAE.Viscosity Number with the
warm weather operating characteristics of the higher SAE Vis-
cosity Number. These are termed "multi-viscosity oils," SAE
5W-20,
SAE 5W-30, SAE 10W-30, SAE 10W-40, SAE 20W-40.
The following chart will serve as a guide in selecting the proper
oil viscosity.
In addition to providing proper lubrication, the cor-
rect viscosity helps assure good cold and hot starting by reducing
friction and thus·increasing cranking speed.
Please Note:
• SAE 5W-20 oils are not recommended for sustained high speed driving .
• SAE 30 oils may be used at temperatures above 40 degrees F.

Types of Oils- How to Determine the Quality of Oil
You Are Getting
In service, engine oils may form sludge and varnish and, under
some conditions, corrosive acids unless protected against oxidation.
To minimize the formation of these harmful products and to
assure the use of oil best suited for present day operating conditions,
automobile manufacturers have developed a series ofsequence.tests
designed to evaluate the ability of any oil to properly lubricate
automobile engines.
Only those oils which are certified by their suppliers as meeting
(a) MS service requirements and (b) car makers tests are of the
quality
tQ be used in Chevrolet engines.

www.PlandeGraissage.org

Checking
and Maintaining the
Oil Level
Warm up the engine, turn off
the ignition and allow a
few
minutes so the oil can return to
the crankcase before checking
the level.
The engine oil dipstick
is lo-
cated in the left rear corner of
the engine compartment next
to the engine. The dipstick
is
marked "FULL" and "ADD".
The oil level should be main-
tained between the two marks,
neithergoing above the"FULL"
line nor below the "ADD" line.
1. Remove the dipstick from
the tube and wipe it off
with a rag.
Engine Oil Change
2. Replace it and make sure it
is seated in the tube.
3. Remove it again and in-
spect it to see if the oil falls
between the two marks.
4. Add oil only if the level falls
below the "ADD" mark.
One quart will raise the
level from the"ADD"mark
to the "FULL" mark.
5. Replace dipstick firmly.
To ensure continuation of best performance, low maintenance
cost and long engine life, it
is necessary to change the crankcase oil
whenever
it becomes contaminated with harmful foreign materials.
Under normal driving conditions draining the crankcase and refill-
ing it with fresh oil every 4 months
or every 6000 miles (whichever
occurs first)
is recommended.
In certain types of service including trailer hauling, extensive
idling, short trip operation at freezing temperatures (engine not
thoroughly warmed-up), the oil change interval should not exceed
2 months
or 3,000 miles, (whichever occurs first).

pear-not just an oily film. If
solid grease does leak from the
gear see your authorized Chev-
rolet dealer.
POWER STEERING
The most common cause of noise and poor power assist from the
power steering system
is the lack of proper belt tension.
