Cooling and Engine Lubrication

From the 1933 Buick Shop Manual

Cooling and oiling systems. The cooling pages cover thermostat removal and testing, hood ventilating doors, the fan with its oil-filled hub, the water pump driven from the generator shaft and a guide to alcohol, methanol, glycerine and ethylene glycol anti-freeze. The lubrication pages describe the force-feed system and oil capacities, the Harrison oil temperature regulator and how to clean it with Benzol, the oil pump, the AC oil filter and renewal cartridges, and the crankcase ventilating system.
