This is a page from an automotive service manual (Chilton-style), likely part of a routine maintenance section. The top of the page contains a numbered legend (items 1-12) for Fig. 89, 'Engine compartment service points,' identifying underhood service locations: radiator filler cap, battery, air cleaner, automatic transmission dipstick, brake master cylinder, engine oil filter, distributor, engine oil dipstick, PCV valve, engine oil filler cap, power steering reservoir, and the combined windshield washer reservoir/radiator overflow bottle. The remainder of the page begins a section titled 'Fuel and Engine Oil Recommendations' for gasoline engines (referencing Figure 90). It explains that recommended oil viscosities for sustained temperatures from below 0°F (−18°C) to above 32°F (0°C) are covered, and that multiviscosity oils are recommended for their wider acceptable temperature range. It warns that oil equal in quality to original equipment must be used, as inferior oils may void the warranty or damage the engine. It explains the SAE grade number: lower SAE numbers mean lighter oil and easier cold-weather cranking but less high-temperature protection. It advises choosing oil viscosity based on the lowest anticipated temperature during the oil change interval. The text is cut off mid-sentence, continuing on the next page.

Frequently asked questions

What engine compartment service points are identified in Fig. 89?
Twelve points: radiator filler cap, battery, air cleaner, automatic transmission dipstick, brake master cylinder, engine oil filter, distributor, engine oil dipstick, PCV valve, engine oil filler cap, power steering reservoir, and windshield washer reservoir/radiator overflow bottle.
What type of oil does the manual recommend for gasoline engines?
Multiviscosity oils are recommended because of their wider range of acceptable temperatures and driving conditions, and oil of a quality equal to original equipment should always be used.
What does the SAE grade number on an oil container mean?
It indicates the oil's viscosity (its ability to lubricate at a given temperature). The lower the SAE number, the lighter the oil, easier cold-weather cranking, but less lubrication and protection at high temperatures.
What can happen if inferior oil is used in the engine?
According to the manual, using inferior oils may void the warranty, damage your engine, or both.
How should oil viscosity be chosen?
Oil viscosities should be chosen from those recommended for the lowest anticipated temperatures during the oil change interval.
