Yes i do like my Packard very much to drive, in Switzerland they are only a handfull of this Reinhardt Cars. Originally my Car comes from Wisconsin.

I did also retorque the Head Nuts today after 140km. It had a bit space on the Nuts after the Tour.
So i will see what i can get here for Automatic Transmission Oil. By the Way I have the original Service Manual.

Thank You
best regards

Hi there

I'm reading her since a longer time. I have a 1952' 200 Deluxe Sedan with Ultramatic, Easamatic, Hydraulic Lifters.

I have following questions:

I did a Hydraulic Lifter Change Job. After assemblage of the head with a new head gasket it is necessary to draw back the head screws more than one time to have the 62 Footpounds correctly?

Which Oil i should use for my 288 Engine (with Oil Filter Canister and Bypass Hose to the Lifter Gallery). I would say a 20W50 Classic Oil? (Engine is still in Original 65'000miles condition, with Oli Pan removed and cleaned from Stuck by myself)

Which Oil i do need for the Ultramatic Transmission? Is there a Filter Unit i need to change?

With best regards from Switzerland
Felix
