PUSHING, TOWING AND LIFTING
Pushing
NOTE:
Towing car to start is not recommended
due to the possibility of the disabled car ac-
celerating into tow car.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Do not attempt to start the engine by pushing the car.
Should the battery become discharged, it will be neces-
sary to use an auxiliary battery with jumper cables to
start the engine.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical
system, never connect booster batteries in ex-
cess of 12 volts and connect positive to positive
and negative to negative.
Manual Transmission
When a push start is necessary turn off all electrical
loads such as heater, radio, and if possible, lights, turn
on the key, depress the clutch, and place the shift lever
in high gear. Release the clutch when your speed reaches
10 to 15 miles per hour.
TOWING
The car may be towed safely on its rear wheels with
the (selector lever in "N" (Neutral) position at speeds
of 35 miles per hour or less under most conditions.
However, the drive shaft must be disconnected or the
car towed on its front wheels if 1) Tow speeds in excess
of 35 MPH are necessary, 2) Car must be towed for ex-
tended distances (over 50 miles) or, 3) Transmission is
not operating properly. If car is towed on its front
wheels, the steering wheel should be secured to maintain
a straight ahead position.

The selection of the proper lubricant and its correct
application at regular intervals does much to increase the
life and operation of all moving parts of the vehicle.
Consequently, it is important that the correct grade of
oil or grease, as noted in the following pages, be used.
ENGINE CRANKCASE OIL
Crankcase Capacity
4 Cylinder 4 qt.
6 Cylinder 4 qt.
8 Cylinder (283) 4 qt.
8 Cylinder (327) 4 qt.
8 Cylinder (350) 4 qt.
8 Cylinder (396) 4 qt.
8 Cylinder (427) Chevrolet 4 qt.
8 Cylinder (427) Corvette 5 qt.
For 4 Cyl. Add .5 qt. with filter change;
1 qt. for 6 and 8 Cyl. engines.
Lubrication
Crankcase oil should be selected to give the best per-
formance under the climatic and driving conditions in the
territory in which the vehicle is driven.
During warm or hot weather, an oil which will provide
adequate lubrication under high operating temperatures
is required.
During the colder months of the year* an oil which will
permit easy starting at the lowest atmospheric tempera-
ture likely to be encountered, should be used.
When the crankcase is drained and refilled, the crank-
case oil should be selected, not on the basis of the exist-
ing temperature at the time of the change, but on the
lowest temperature anticipated for the period during
which the oil is to be used.
Unless the crankcase oil is selected on the basis of
viscosity or fluidity of the anticipated temperature, dif-
ficulty in starting will be experienced at each sudden
drop in temperature.
SAE Viscosity Oils
SAE Viscosity Numbers indicate only the viscosity or
body of the oil, that is, whether an oil is a light or a
heavy body oil, and do not consider or include other
properties or quality factors.
The lower SAE Viscosity Numbers, such as SAE 5W
and SAE 10W which represent the light body oils, are
recommended for use during cold weather to provide
easy starting and instant lubrication. The higher SAE
Viscosity Numbers such as SAE 20 and SAE 20W, which
represents heavier body oils, are recommended for use
during warm or hot weather to provide improved oil
economy and adequate lubrication under high operating
temperatures.
Oils are available which are designed to combine the
easy starting characteristics of the lower SAE Viscosity
Number with the warm weather operating characteristics
of the higher SAE Viscosity Number. These are termed
"multi-viscosity oils," SAE 5-10W, SAE 5W-20, SAE
10W-20W, and SAE 10W-30.
The following chart will serve as a guide for the
selection of the correct SAE Viscosity Number for use
under different atmospheric temperature ranges, and
suggests the appropriate SAE Viscosity Numbers when
multi-viscosity oils are used.

CRANKCASE VENTILATION VALVE
VALVE TYPE
NOTE: Under prolonged dusty driving condi-
tions,
it is recommended that these operations
be performed more often. Every 12,000 miles
or 12 months the valve should be replaced.
Connecting hoses, fittings, flame arrestor and
crankcase breather cap (where used) should be
cleaned. At every oil change the system should
be tested for proper function and serviced, if
necessary.
FUEL FILTER
Replace filter element located in carburetor inlet if
flooding occurs, if engine surges during constant speed
operation (pulsating effect) or if poor performance is
experienced during acceleration or at higher speeds.
AIR CLEANER
NOTE: Under prolonged dusty driving condi-
tions,
it is recommended that these operations
be performed more often.
POLYURETHANE TYPE-
Every 12,000 miles clean element in solvent, squeeze
out solvent, then soak in engine oil and squeeze out
excess.
OIL WETTED PAPER ELEMENT TYPE-
First 12,000 miles inspect or test element; if satis-
factory, re-use element but recheck every 6,000 miles
until replaced. Element must not be washed, oiled,
tapped or cleaned with an air hose.
BATTERY TERMINAL WASHERS
Battery terminals have felt washers between top of
case and cable connections to minimize corrosive action
of battery acid. These felt washers should be saturated
with engine oil every 6,000 miles.
DISTRIBUTOR
4 and 6-Cylinder Engine—Remove distributor cap and
rotate lubricator 1/2 turn at 12,000 mile intervals. Re-
place at 24,000 mile intervals.
8-Cylinder Engine—Change cam lubricator end for end
at 12,000 mile intervals. Replace at 24,000 mile
intervals.
REAR AXLE AND 3-SPEED AND
OVERDRIVE, 4-SPEED TRANSMISSIONS
The passenger car operates under the most severe
lubrication conditions at high speed and requires a hypoid
lubricant which will meet this condition.
Recommended Lubricants
Standard Rear Axles—SAE 90 "Multi-Purpose" gear
lubricant.
Positraction Rear Axles—Use special Positraction
lubricant.
CAUTION: Straight Mineral Oil gear lubricants
must not be used in hypoid rear axles.
Transmissions—SAE 90 "Multi-Purpose" gear
lubricant.
The SAE 90 viscosity grade is recommended for year
round use. However, when extremely low temperatures
are encountered for protracted periods during the winter
months, the SAE 80 viscosity grade may be used.
"Multi-Purpose" Gear Lubricants
Gear lubricants that will satisfactorily lubricate hypoid
rear axles have been developed and are commonly re-
ferred to as ' 'Multi-Purpose" gear lubricants meeting
U.S.
Army Ord. Spec. MIL-L-2105B.
These lubricants can also be satisfactorily used in
manual transmissions.
CAUTION: With Positraction rear axles use
special Positraction lubricant.
"Multi-Purpose" gear lubricants must be manufac-
tured under carefully controlled conditions and the
lubricant manufacturer must be responsible for the
satisfactory performance of his product. His reputation
is the best indication of quality.
Lubricant Additions
The lubricant level in the axle and transmission hous-
ings should be checked periodically. (Every 6,000 miles.)
It is recommended that any additions required to bring
up the lubricant level be made using the same type lubri-
cant already in the housing.
When checking lubricant level in transmission or rear
axle the unit being cheeked should be at operating
temperature. With unit at operating temperature the
lubricant should be level with bottom of the filler plug
hole.
If the lubricant level is checked with the unit cold
the lubricant level should be 1/2 inch below the filler
plug hole.
Lubricant Changes
The rear axle lubricant does not require changing for
the life of the vehicle. If additions are needed, or when
refilling the axle after service procedures, use lubricants
described above.
POWERGLIDE TRANSMISSION
NOTE: Every 12,000 miles, it is recommended
that the Powerglide low band be adjusted as
specified in Section 7 of this manual.
Every 6,000 miles--Check fluid level on dipstick with
engine idling, selector lever in neutral position, parking
brake set and transmission at operating temperature. If
fluid level is below full mark on dip stick, adding a small
amount of Automatic Transmission Fluid, General Motors
Automatic Transmission Fluid (Part Numbers 1050568-
69,
70) is recommended. If this fluid is not obtainable,
use Automatic Transmission Fluid Type 'A' bearing the
mark AQ-ATF followed by a number and the suffix letter
'A'.
Recheck fluid level on dip stick and again add a
small amount of fluid if needed to bring level to full
mark. DO NOT OVERFILL.
CHEVROLET CHASSIS SERVICE MANUAL
Page 18 of 659
LUBRICATION 0-16
Every 12,000 miles (more frequently*, depending on
severity of service, if vehicle is used to pull trailers,
carry full loads during high ambient temperatures,
operate in mountainous terrain or operate under other
severe conditions--Remove fluid from the transmission
sump and add one and a half quarts of fresh fluid for
Camaro and Chevy II and two quarts for Chevrolet,
Chevelle, and Corvette. Operate transmission through all
ranges and check fluid level as described above.
•Except if vehicle is equipped with transmission pro-
vided in heavy duty service options. If so equipped,
drain converter and pump every 12,000 miles and add
approximately seven and a half quarts of fresh fluid
for Chevy II and nine quarts for Chevrolet and Chevelle.
TURBO HYDRA-MATIC
Lubrication. recommendations for the Turbo Hydra-
Matic are the same as outlined for the Powerglide
transmission except for fluid capacity and filter change
listed below.
After checking transmission fluid level it is important
that the dip stick be pushed all the way into the fill tube.
Every 12,000 miles — after removing fluid from the
transmission sump, approximately 7 1/2 pints of fresh
fluid will be required to return level to proper mark on
the dip stick.
Every 24,000 miles, or at every other fluid change--
the transmission sump strainer should be replaced.
FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS
It is necessary to remove the wheel and hub assembly
to lubricate the bearings. The bearing assemblies should
be cleaned before repacking with lubricant. Do not pack
the hub between the inner and outer bearing assemblies
or the hub caps, as this excessive lubrication results in
the lubricant working out into the brake drums and
linings.
Front wheels of all passenger car models are equipped
with tapered roller bearings and should be packed with a
high melting point water resistant front wheel bearing
lubricant whenever wheel and hub are removed.
CAUTION: "Long fibre" or "viscous" type
lubricant should not be used. Do not mix wheel
bearing lubricants. Be sure to thoroughly clean
bearings and hubs of all old lubricant before
repacking.
The proper adjustment of front wheel bearings is one
of the important service operations- that has a definite
bearing on safety. A car with improperly adjusted front
wheel bearings lacks steering stability, has a tendency to
wander or shimmy and may have increased tire wear.
The adjustment of these bearings is very critical. The
procedure is covered in Section 3 of this manual under
Front Wheel Bearings—Adjust,
MANUAL STEERING GEAR
Check lubricant level every 36,000 miles. If required,
add EP Chassis Lubricant.
POWER STEERING
On models equipped with power steering gear, check
fluid at operating temperature in pump reservoir. Add
GM Power Steering Fluid, or, if this is not available, use
Automatic Transmission Fluid "Type A" bearing the
mark AQ-ATF followed by a number and the suffix letter
'A'
to bring level to full mark on dip stick.
AIR CONDITIONING
After the first 6,000 miles, check all hose clamp
connections for proper tightness.
Every 6,000 miles check sight glass under the hood,
after the system has been in operation for several
minutes. Sight glass should be clear but may, during
milder weather, show traces of bubbles. Foam or dirt
indicate a leak which should be repaired immediately.
BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER
Check level every 6,000 miles and maintain 1/4" below
lowest edge of each filler opening with GM Hydraulic
Brake Fluid Supreme No. 11.
PARKING BRAKE
Every 6,000 miles, apply water resistant lube to park-
ing brake cable, cable guides and at all operating links
and levers.
CLUTCH CROSS-SHAFT
Periodic lubrication of the clutch cross shaft is not
required. At 36,000 miles or sooner, if necessary;
remove plug, install lube fitting and apply CHASSIS
LUBRICANT.
CHASSIS LUBRICATION
For chassis lubrication, consult the lubrication chart.
It shows the points to be lubricated and how often the
lubricant should be applied.
The term "chassis lubricant" as used in this manual,
describes a water resistant EP chassis grease designed
for application by commercial pressure gun equipment.
