The
type
of
se
rvice for which an engine oil is
in
te
nded is usually designated by oil refineries
by means of
letters
"
MS"
,
"ML"
or
"
MM
" on
the
container. This
syste
m does n
ot
replace
the
SAE
numbering
system.
Th
ey
are
used
in
addi-
tion
to
the
SAE
numbers, which indicate the
various tempe
ra
tures
under
which
an
oil can
be used.

P
rom
the
explanation
of
the th"ee
types
of

as

it
is appm'ent
that

The
initial
engine
oil change period
has
been
increased
from
500 to 1,000 miles
to
coincide
with a
regular
1,
000 mile lubrication
peri
od.
During
the
first 1,000 miles of operation,
the
original
fa
cto
ry
oil should be
retained
in
the
crankcase.
If
it
becomes necessary to add o

thi
s
initial
period, use the
proper
viscos-
ity o

thereafter,
usi
