usage
and application to promote satis factory operation and prevent
excessive

der severe operating or atmospheric conditions
these
services should be performed more
often
than
under normal conditions. It should also be remem

Engine Oil
For
maximum
engine
protection under all driving conditions encountered during the recommended
oil
change intervals, it is necessary to use only
"MS"
certified
sequence-tested
oils. The term
"MS"
must appear on the oil container singly or
in
conjunction with other designations. "MS" des
ignated oils are heavy-duty detergent oils that are
formulated to withstand all service conditions in
modern powerplants. Engine oils designated only
as
"ML"
and/or
"MM"
are not recommended and should not be used except in an emergency when
"MS"
oil is not available. Certified
sequence-tested
engine
oils are described on their containers by
such
phrases as:
meets,
exceeds,
excels, or has
proven superior in the
test
requirements,
test
sequences, MS Service
tests,
standards, and service
requirements,
of automotive manufacturers, auto
makers,
or car manufacturers for MS service or
Service
MS.
It
may be necessary to change
engine
oil more
frequently than normally recommended, depending upon the type and quality of oil used, the severity
of operation conditions, if the
engine
is used for
short
periods in cold weather, or if the
engine
is allowed to idle for excessive periods.
Always
drain
the crankcase while the
engine
is hot since
dirt
and contaminants are then more
likely
to be held in suspension and therefore
will
drain
out more completely.
Drain
the crankcase as follows:
a.
Position the
drain
receptacle under the
drain
plug.
b.
Remove the
drain
plug using the correct size
wrench.
Be careful of hot oil.
c.
Carefully
clean the
drain
plug. Inspect and
replace
the gasket, if deteriorated.
d.
When the oil has drained, replace and tighten
the crankcase
drain
plug. 12

Engine Oil
Filter
Service —
Hurricane
F4 Engine
The
engine
oil filter assembly should be replaced at each
2000
miles
[3.200
km.] of normal
engine
use. To remove the filter, use oil filter wrench
C-4065.
To install a new filter, wipe the gasket —
contact surface with
engine
oil, screw on the unit
until
gasket contacts the sealing surface, and then tighten at least one
half
turn
more. DO NOT USE
TOOLS.
Turn
by hand only. When refilling the
engine
crankcase after filter has been changed be
sure
to add one extra quart [1 ltr.] of oil to
fill
filter
and oil passages. Run
engine
to make sure there is no leak at oil filter.
B-l 1.
Engine Oil
Filter
Service — Dauntless V-6 Engine
To
replace the oil filter, use oil filter wrench, Tool
C-4065,
to remove the filter. After the filter has
been removed from the oil pump housing located
on the right front side of the engine, wipe the
housing surface clean and oil the gasket on the base of the new filter to make a
good
seal. Screw
the new filter in position until its gasket contacts
the pump housing surface, then tighten at least
one-half
turn
until filter fits snug.
Note:
Tighten by hand only, do not use a tool to
tighten.
Replace
oil filter each
6000

Exhaust
Manifold
Heat
Control
Valve
— Dauntless V-6 Engine
A
thermally-actuated heat control valve is located at
rear
of the right exhaust manifold of the Daunt
less
V-6 engine.
This
valve has a bimetal thermo
static spring which holds the valve closed when
the
engine
is cold.
Each
time the vehicle is lubricated place a few drops of penetrating oil on the valve shaft bushings
and
then work the valve by hand making sure that
the lubricant is worked into the bushings.
Note:
If the valve shaft
does
not operate freely
penetrating oil should be used to free the shaft.

km.]. Also place one drop of light
engine
oil on the wick located on the top of the
shaft, which is made accessible by removing the
rotor
arm. Sparingly apply cam lubricant to the
breaker
arm cam and place a drop of oil on the
breaker
arm pivot.

Oil Bath Air Cleaner
Some 'Jeep' Universal vehicles are equipped with
an
oil bath type air cleaner.
This
type air cleaner
thoroughly removes all dust from the air before it enters the carburetor, if it is properly serviced.
When
the vehicle is operated under normal condi
tions the air cleaner must be serviced at regular
intervals
as care of the air cleaner is extremely 13
Page 14 of 376
LUBRICATION
vital
to the life of the
engine.
When the vehicle
is operated under abnormal conditions, (for ex
ample when driven on secondary roads or through
fields) then service of the air cleaner must be more frequent
Note:
Under extreme continually dusty and dirty
conditions where the vehicle operates in clouds of dust and
dirt,
service the air cleaner daily.

Front
Axle Wheel Bearings
To
lubricate the wheel bearings, it is necessary
to remove, clean, repack, and adjust them. When
front wheel hubs and bearings are removed for
lubrication,
they should be thoroughly washed in a
suitable cleaning solvent. The bearings should be
carefully
dried and then given a thorough cleaning
and
inspection. Use a clean brush to remove all
particles
of old lubricant from bearings and hubs.
After
the bearings are cleaned, inspect them for
pitted races and rollers. Also, check the hub oil
seals.
Note:
Wheel bearing lithium base lubricants are
used at the factory for
initial
fill
of
these
bearings.
When
lithium base and sodium base lubricants are
mixed,
the result is a thinned-out mixture that
can
bleed through seals. It is therefore important
that lubricants with the correct base be used when
lubricating
the wheel bearings.
Should
leaks occur at wheel bearing seals, the leaks
may
be caused by a mixture of two
types
of
lubri
cants.
In such cases, the old lubricant should be
completely removed before new lubricant is added.
Wheel
bearings should be thoroughly cleaned,
lubricated
with lithium base and reinstalled.
Repack
the bearing
cones
and rollers with grease
and
reassemble hub in the reverse order of the
disassembly. Test the bearing adjustment as out
lined
in Section Q.
B-57.
Rear
Axle Wheel Bearings
The
Rear
wheel bearings an early models equipped
with
lubrication fittings with a vent opening
through the housings above each fitting should be
lubricated
sparingly, each
2,000
miles
[3.200
km.].
Use
a hand compressor and wheel bearing grease,
forcing
the grease through each lubrication fitting
until
it flows from the vent. Vent should be kept
clear
of obstruction or grease
will
back up into the
brakes.
Do not add grease after it flows from the
vent for it may be forced through the wheel key-
way
onto
the outside of the wheel and possibly
onto
the brake linings.
Rear
wheel bearings that do
not have lubrication fittings should be removed
each
12,000
miles
[19.200
km.] and the bearing
cleaned, inspected and repacked. Refer to proce
dure
in Par. B-56.
Note:
When servicing the Flanged Axle Unit
Bear
ing Assembly, refer to Section N, Par. N-5 for
proper
lubrication procedures.
B-58.
Propeller Shafts
and
Universal Joints
The
propeller shaft slip joints and universals should
be lubricated with a hand compressor grease gun so as to not damage the bearing seals. The units

Springs
The
vehicle springs should not be lubricated. At assembly the leaves are coated with a long-lasting
special
lubricant which is designed to last the life
of the springs. Spraying with the usual mixture of
oil

the leaves, making it necessary
to relubricate
often
to eliminate squeaking.

LUBRICATION
REQUIREMENTS
FOR
OFF-HIGHWAY
OPERATION
Adequate lubrication
becomes
increasingly im portant when vehicles are used in off-highway
operation. Under
these
conditions all operating
parts
of both the
engine
and chassis are subjected
to unusual pressures. At the same time such operation is usually under abnormal dust and
dirt
conditions making additional precautions neces
sary.
The importance of correct lubrication for
the conditions of operation cannot be overestimated.
B-80.
Engine
Oil
It
is important, that the oil in a new or rebuilt
engine
be changed after the first
eight
or ten hours
of operation, and for heavy, dusty work, every 50
hours
thereafter. Watch the condition of the oil closely and change it immediately if it appears to
be contaminated.
i-Il.
Engine
Oil
Filter
Replace
the oil filter at the end of the first 100
hours
of service. Under extreme operating con ditions, more frequent replacement may be re
quired.
The condition of the oil is a reliable
indicator
of the condition of the filter element.
If
the oil
becomes
discolored and shows evidence
of contamination, change the filter without delay.
(Refer
to
Par.
B-10, B-ll for the correct procedure
for replacing the oil filter.)
B-82.
Air Cleaner
Care
of the air cleaner is extremely vital to the life of the engine. Pay particular attention to the
amount of dust and
dirt
in the air taken into the
engine
through the air cleaner. When dust is not
noticeable in the air, service the air cleaner each scheduled maintenance period. Whenever the air is
noticeably dusty (for example when the vehicle is
driven
on secondary roads or through fields) then
service the air cleaner more frequently. Under extreme continually dusty and dirty conditions
where the vehicle operates in clouds of dust and
dirt,
service the air cleaner daily. (Refer to Par.
B-24
thru
B-26 for service procedures.)
B-83.
Chassis
Lubrication
The
period of lubrication depends entirely upon the type of work being done. Using the specified
interval
given in the Service Maintenance Schedule as a guide, lubricate at safe intervals required for
the particular type of operation. Under extremely
dusty conditions lubricate
these
points daily. Be
sure
to force enough lubricant into each fitting to force out the old lubricant which might be con
taminated with grit and which would cause
rapid
wear
if allowed to remain.
Do not place lubricant on the various
ball
and socket joints or pivot points of the lift linkage as
dirt
will
accumulate to form an abrasive mix
ture.
It is
best
to simply wipe
these
parts clean
with
a cloth.
B-84.
Front
Axle
Shaft Universal Joints
For
off-highway use remove the universal joints twice yearly, thoroughly clean both the housings
and
joints with a suitable solvent, and
refill
the
housings to the
fill
plug opening levels with the
correct
lubricant as given in the
Lubrication
Specifications.
B-85.
Transmission and Transfer
Case
The
combined capacity of the two housings is
small
for economy, making it important that the
lubricant
be changed at regular intervals. For off-highway use
drain
both housings every 300
hours
of operation and
refill
to the
fill
plug opening
levels. Refer to B-35 through B-37 when changing
lubricant.
B-86.
Front and
Rear
Axle
Differentials
Because of the higher pressure developed in the
axle assemblies with heavy duty operation,
drain,
flush,
and
refill
the differential assemblies each 300 hours of operation. Use only flushing oil or light
engine
oil to clean out the housings (except
Powr-Lok
and
Trac-Lok
differentials). Refer to
Par.
B-52 and B-53 for draining and flushing
differential.

ground.
Set selector switch to the number of
cylin
ders in the

readings. Cam
dwell
angle must be 30° for the Dauntless V-6
Delco equipped engine, 29° ±: 3° Prestolite equipped
engine
and 42° for the
Hurricane
F4 engine. If the dwell reading is not to specifications,
trouble could be improper point spacing, point
rubbing,
defective block or breaker arm, or mis
aligned and worn distributor cam.
Adjust

as shown in Fig. C-14 for the Delco equipped
Dauntless V-6 engine. For cam dwell adjustment
of the Prestolite equipped V6 and
Hurricane
F4 engine, refer to Par. C-10,
step
a.
Dwell
variation is determined by noting any
dwell
change as the
engine
is operated at different
speeds.
Excessive
variation indicates a change in point opening that can result from shaft or bushing wear,
or
from the distributor plate shifting because of
wear
or
looseness.
Measure
dwell variation at idle speed, using same
test
hookup for checking dwell. Increase speed to 1750 rpm.;
note
dwell reading.
Then
slowly reduce
speed to idle while observing dwell meter. Dwell
variation
should not exceed 3°. If dwell variation
exceeds
3°
between
idle speed and 1750 rpm.,
probable wear in the distributor shaft, bushings, or
breaker
plate is indicated. Distributor should then be checked more thoroughly.
C-l8. Check Ignition Wires
and
Connections
Examine
and clean the insulation on all ignition
wires
and check all connections. Wires should be
firm,
flexible, and free from roughness and minute
cracks.
Bend wires to check for brittle,
cracked,
or
loose
insulation. Since defective insulation
will
per
mit
crossfiring or missing of the engine, defective
wires
should be replaced.
C-l9. Test Ignition
Cables
To
remove cables from

plugs, use
Spark
Plug
Cable
Remover
Tool
W-274.
Twist
the
boot
slightly to break the seal and, grasping the rubber
protector
boot,
lift straight up with a steady even
pull.
Do not grasp the cable and
jerk
the cable off; this
will
damage the cables. Do not use a probe
on
these
wires; puncturing them may cause a
separation in the conductor. To remove ignition cables from the distributor cap or coil tower,
loosen
the nipple first, then grasp the upper part of the nipple and the cable and gently
pull
straight up.
Test
the cable with an ohmmeter. Resistance value
per
foot
is
3000-7000
ohms. The ignition cables
can
be checked for
circuit
continuity by removing
the cable from the
spark
plug and holding the cable
end Vi" [6,35 mm.] from the engine. A strong
spark
indicates
good
conductor continuity.
When
connecting the cable to the
spark
plug, be
certain
a
good
connection is made and that the
protector
boot
fits tight on the
spark
plug. A
partially
seated cable creates an additional gap in
the
circuit
and the resulting
spark
jump
will
cause
terminal
corrosion and cable damage.
C-20. Coil
When
an ignition coil is suspected of being defec tive, it should be checked on the car. A coil may
break
down after it has reached operating tempera
ture.
It is important that the coil be at operating
temperature when
tests
are made.
Note:
The ignition coil and ballast resistor for the
V-6

The minimum and
maximum
allowable pressures are 2% to 3% lbs. [0,176 a
0,264
kg-cm2], for the
Hurricane
F4 en
gine.
Fuel
