lube is
essential
to good
pm
,
private.
the
hard
way.
yeah.
..
I found
that
out.
just remember
that
lo
shows you
where
every fitting
is.
.. how
often
to
lube ‘em.
.. and
which
lube to use.
thanks for the
good info. lubing is a
lot
more
important
than I thought.
let’s head on
back to the
motor pool,
okay privates?
thanks
for the
lift.
I wasn’t
lookin’ forward
to spendin’ the
night out here.
me,
either!
well.
.. here
we are back
at the motor
pool, privates.
most metal surfaces
that require lube may
look
smooth, but.
..
they
aren’t
.
when it comes down to
it, private scurry,
any
vehicle will grind to a
halt
... without lube.
Close inspection will show that even the smoothest surfaces are rough.
When these surfaces rub together, you get friction, heat and wear.
Lubrication gets between the surfaces and holds
them apart. The lube has to be just right to do that.
If it is too thin, it won’t keep the surfaces apart.
If it’s too thick, it can’t get between them.
It has to be clean,
too. Grit in the lube
wears away parts.
