Axle Gear Ratios
Your car will be equiped with an axle having one of the following gear ratios:
3.00:1, 3.50:1, 3.89:1, or 4.11:1.

NOTE: The gear ratio may be identified by means of a tag on the rear axle housing or the code number on the warranty plate.

Refill Capacities (U.S. Measures)
Cooling System	19 quarts*
Engine Oil (Including Oil Filter)	6 quarts
Fuel Tank:
All Models Except Station Wagons	20 gallons
Station Wagons	21 gallons
Rear Axle:
(When Changing Lube Due to Temperature Requirements)	5.0 pints**
Standard Transmission	As required or 3½ pints
Merc-O-Matic Transmission	As required or 11¼ pints
*Add 1 quart with if car is equipped with heater.

Refill Capacities (Imperial Measures)
The Canadian Provinces employ an Imperial liquid measure which is 1/5 larger than similar units of liquid measure used under United States standard. If the approximate equivalent liquid capacities are desired, Multiply the specified U.S. measure by .83 to obtain Imperial gallons. Multiply the Imperial measure by 1.2 to obtain the approximate equivalent in U.S. gallons.

* On air conditioner equipped cars, the engine idle speed should be set with the air conditioner turned on for a minimum of 20 minutes and the blower speed on "HI." The car windows should also be open.

** Ignition timing requirements may vary depending upon locality, fuel, and operating conditions. In order to obtain maximum economy and performance, the timing may be advanced to a point just short of audible detonation under load but not to exceed 5° over the normal setting.

If the use of sub-standard fuels is encountered, the initial setting may be retarded from the normal setting. However, do not retard the initial setting beyond 2°B.T.D.C.

*The inner lamps are replaced with back-up lamps, if so equipped.

Major Safety items such as headlamps, tail lights, and stop lights should always be in good operating condition.

Prompt replacement of burned-out bulbs and repairs to damaged wiring is a must for safety.
