Lubrication

From the 1937 Chrysler Shop Manual

Lubrication charts for each code, C14, C15, C16 and C17, give capacities and service points at 1,000, 2,000, 6,000 and 12,000 miles. The text then explains Chrysler's 1937 lubricant recommendations: light 10-W and 20-W engine oils for cold starting and fuel economy, oil change intervals, the oil filter every 8,000 miles, straight mineral and extreme pressure gear lubricants, hypoid and spiral bevel rear axle recommendations, overdrive transmission oil, semi-fluid chassis lubricant, short fibre grease, water pump grease and installing lubricant nipples.
