RUST PROOFING OF SERVICE PARTS



SERVICE INFORMATION

The factory has begun to apply a new rust-proofing material to large and medium sized service parts. This new type of rust-proofing oil must be removed (see below) before installing the parts to a vehicle. Table 1 lists the applied parts with the new and old type of rust-proofing material used.
RUST-PROOFING OIL REMOVAL

Rust-proofing oil should be washed or wiped off the parts using kerosene or equivalent. This new oil is easier to remove than the current oil applied to short engine and cylinder blocks.
