The quality of gasoline engine oil bears close
relationship
to the engine performance
and life. The
use of a poor grade oil or an oil having
viscositynot
suited
to your climatemay causehard startingand/or
premature
weardueto inadequate
lubricationofvarious
components,
evenleading
to engineseizure.
CAUTION
1. When the engine is pr.rt
into operationfor a long
periodof time,engineoil properties
are boundto
deteriorateas the engineoil is exposedto highly
heated components, or worn metal particles,
carbon,wateror dustgetsinto
theengineoil. lt is,
therefore, necessaryto change the engine oil at
regular
intervals,
2. Too low oil level not only will quicken oil
deterioration,btrt will cause engine seizure. So
replenishengineoil as soon as possible.
3. Mixingoilsof differentbrandsmightdeteriorateoil
properties. Therefore,avoid mixingengine oils of
differentbrands.

Selectlon
of Long Llfe Coolant& AntlfreezeSolutlon
Whenthe coolingwateris frozen,
thereis a possibility
that
the cylinderheador cylinderblock,
or possibly
the
radiator,may be broken.
Longlifecoolantor antifreezeis mixed
withthe cooling
water
to prevent
freezing.
Thesesolutionscome in two kinds: Antifreezeis used
only duringa winter
seasonmainly
for the purpose
of
preventing freezing. Long life coolant is used
throughout the year for the purpose of preventing
corrosionof the cooling
system,besides
the prevention
of freezing. Select 'long life coolant or antifreezefor
aluminumengines'. Use a mixturethat is best suited
foryour local
conditions
and temperature.
It is advisableto use long life coolant having the
following
features:
1.
Long life type coolant in which special rust
prohibitive
agents,anticorrosionagents,etc. have
been added (in largeramountsthan in antifreeze)
to a highly
pureethylene
glycol.
The components of coolant of this type will hardly
evaporate. Simple replenishment
of water will
maintainthe originalintended
performance.
'Longlife
coolant
for
aluminumengines'can
protect
aluminum alloys that do not have strong
rust/corrosion-withstanding
properties.
Also,it can
protectcast iron.
Long life
coolant
prevents
wear
of the water
pump
or waterleakage.
CAUTION
Be sureto usetap waterto dilutelong life
coolant
or antifreeze.
Keep the concentrationof long life coolant or
antifreeze at a level matched with the lowest
temperaturein your local
region.
3. Mixingof long lifecoolantor antifreeze
of different
brands might deteriorateits properties.Therefore,
avoid
mixingsolutions
of different
brands.
4. Using100%
of undilutedsolutiondoes not always
ensurethe safety of your engine. ln a very cold
climate,
100% antifreezeor long life coolant can
treeze
and cause damage.
5. The use of a poor grade antifreeze may cause
damage
to the engineand radiator.
Theuseof long
lifecoolantor antifreezefor cast iron enginesmay
cause
damageto aluminum,copper,
etc.
6. Longlifecoolant
or antifreeze
is poisonous.
Besure
to keepit in the originalcontainerand alwaysstore
it in a place
where
children
can not reach.
LEADBATTERYELECTROLYTE
A mixing
solutionof sulfuricacid and distilled

used as the battery electrolyte. Normally,the battery
electrolyte
is a diluted sulfuric acid having such a
concentrationthat its specific
