heat-resisting properties.
The
importance of efficient
lubrication cannot be over-estimated.
The
use of cheap
oils
is
false economy and
we
strongly recommend the
oils mentioned above,
as
we
have found from experience
that these are the most suitable for our engines. It
is
advisable to specify the brand
as
well as the grade and.
as an additional precaution, oil should be bought from
branded cabinets or sealed cans.
During the nmning-in period
we
recommend the
addition
of
Acheson's Colloïdal Graphite
to
the oil
in
the engine.
After the first
500
miles and subsequently about
every
2,000
miles, the oil should
be
drained from the
tank and engine sump and the
felt
oil
filter
cleaned (see
Section
9).
To
drain the tank remove the hexagon-
headed plug underneath the nearside of the engine.
The
small screw on the same side of the engine drains the
sump.
The
tank should be swilled through with clean
oil. This procedure
is
conveniently carried out when the
engine is being decarbonised. The oil will
fiow
more
readily
if
the plugs are removed at the conclusion of a
ride, alternatively, the tank and sump may be allowed to
drain overnight. Waste of oil
is
reduced by allowing
~e
oil level in the tank to become reasonably low before
draining.
