ADVICE FOR OWNERS
Although the modern service station is equipped to do a first-class maintenance job on a car, many motorists still do their own lubrication and routine servicing. To them the Petroleum Information Bureau (Australia) offers the following advice: be extremely careful about wiping dirt from grease nipples before applying the grease gun. Use one of the general-purpose greases supplied by any of the oil companies. Engine and transmission oils should be in accordance with either the vehicle’s instruction book or an oil company’s chart of recommendations. The utmost care should be taken to ensure that only clean measures and funnels free from dirt and grit are used.
A FIVE-SPEED gearbox will be offered as an option on the Mercedes 230 SL sports car soon.
