We
are so familiar with some maintenance routines for vehicles that we use this
knowledge for our vintage vehicles without informing ourselves carefully. From
our own car we know things like adjusting the ignition timing, filling in the oil
in the transmission and measuring the oil level. Therefore our veteran friends
make all the same mistakes.
Measuring
correctly at motor and transmission .
1.
Turn out the oil level dipstick and wipe off the
oil.
2.
Insert the oil level dipstick again. Do not
screw it in, put it just on. (Nur aufsetzen)
3.
Fill in as much oil as the oil level dipstick is
in the middle between both marks. The upper ones too much, the lower mark means
not enough.
Attention: Do
never screw out the oil level dipstick while the motor is turning. The danger may be that the pressure in the engine block
becomes so high that the gaskets become no longer oilproof. An opposed engine
has both pistons either on the upper or lower dead centre. Therefore
we do not have any pressure compensation as for a 4- cylinder-engine.
Zu
viel = max. oil level
Zu
wenig = min. oil level
You
may only have an oil loss that come
out of the vent pipe when you have an engine with new pistons. After approx. 800-1000 km this will be over.
Attention:
You can use modern oil for your engine when you have inserted a modern
micro paperfilter. Order no. 2184.
Attention,
Engine
fill in 40 SAE or 10-40 SAE in winter
Transmission fill in 40 SAE engine oil and no transmission oil !
