LUBRICATION SERVICE INFORMATION
Figures and numerals printed in italics and enclosed in parenthesie, as (D-1), refer to illus-
trations and descriptions appearing on the Mobilubrication Disc Chart which are applicable
to 1959 construction.
FRONT SUSPENSION: Movement of each lower control arm is controlled by a torsion bar, rather than a coil spring. The
torsion bar is hex-shaped at each end. The front end is anchored in the lower control arm while the rear end is anchored in the
frame side rail. Movement of the lower control arm tends to twist the torsion bar. Front car height can be changed by adjust-
ing, twisting, the torsion bar at ita rear end. The steering knuckle is mounted on ball Joints in the upper and lower control
arma and are the only points in the front suspension requiring lubrication, a total of four points.
TRANSMISSION (3 SPEED CONVENTIONAL)(D-1)- Standard on Windsor. Check lubricant level every 1000 miles. Add lubri-
cant as required. Drain and refill every 10,000 miles. Never steam clean or use kerosine or solvents to flush housing.
Filler Opening and Level Gauge: Plug in right side of housing.
Drain: Plug on right side of housing, near bottom,
TORQUE FLITE TRANSMISSION (D-5): Optional on Wind sor. Standard on others. Check fluid level every 1000 miles. To
make this check, apply the parking brake and push the "N" (Neutral) selector button. Idle the engine for a few minutes and
then push selector buttons through all ranges and back to "N" position. Dipstick and filter hole on right side are reached from
under hood. Remove all dirt from around dipstick. If engine and transmission are hot, after car has been driven for several
miles, the fluid level should be between the "FULL" mark and the "ADD ONE PINT" marks on the dipstick. If transmi ssion
is cold, below 100°F, the fluid level should be between the "ADD ONE PINT" mark and a point 1/2" below. Maintain level
with Mobilfluid 200.
Drain transmission every 20,000 miles or as often as 10,000 miles when the car is driven under any of the following conditions:
Police car or taxicab operation; Frequent towing of trailers; Frequent heavy traffic in hot weather; Continuous operation at
higher than normal loading. See Mobilubrication Bulletin "Correct Lubrication of Automatic and Semi-Automatic Transmissions"
for complete and approved instructions.
REAR AXLE: (D-6) (Hypold Gears) - Clean dirt from around filler hole plug and check lubricant level every 1000 miles. Add
lubricant as required to maintain level between bottom of filler plug hole and 1/2" below. Drain and refill at least every 10,000
miles. Never steam clean nor use kerosine or solvents to flush housing. Sure-Grip limited slip differential optional and can be
identified by letter "S" stamped directly after the stamped ratio on the lower side of the carrier case. After draining, refill with
special lubricant. Use Mobilube GX90 for topping-up.
Filler Opening and Level Gauge: Right side of drive pinion carrier.
Drain: Drain plug in bottom of housing.
POWER STEERING: (B5) (K-3) Constant-Control type. Optional on Windsor. Standard on others. Check oil level in reservoir at
rear of generator every 1000 miles. Before removing the reservoir cover to check the level, wipe the outside of the cover and
housing so that no dirt can fall into the reservoir. Lift off the top but do not remove or disturb the filter element under any
circumstances. The ofl should be at the "FULL" mark on the reservoir. Maintain fluid at its indicated level with Mobilfluid
200. Replace cover. Fluid from reservoir also lubricates steering gear.
MANIFOLD HEAT CONTROL: Place a few drops of graphited kerosine on each end of shaft every 1,000 miles, when exhaust
manifold is cool, to keep shaft free. If shaft becomes frozen, free it by tapping each end of the shaft lightly with a hammer.
Work valve back and forth a few times.
