Clayton’s CAR CARE Tips

ENGINE OIL Your Vehicle’s Operational Lifeline

Batteries Engine oil provides proper lubrication for all the moving parts inside an internal combustion engine - to disperse heat and prolong the life of all components. Without engine oil, serious damage can occur in a very short amount of time. Modern engine oils prevent blockages and contaminants from restricting oil flow. Oil breaks down and loses its properties over time, you should always check your oil on a regular basis. We recommend every 10,000km to 20,000km. Some circumstances, may require more frequent changes. For example if the vehicle is operated under abnormal conditions like 4wding, towing, racing, or excessive stop-start driving. It is also important to use the correct grade and specification of oil in your engine. Many modern European and diesel engines require certain additives which are present only in specific oil grades, and using the wrong specification can cause major and expensive engine and component damage.

DID YOU KNOW...

The Inspiration for What’s Up Yukon’s logo

Amos Josie’s Tractor

Amos Josie drove a blue tractor

And he pulled a wagon behind

He hauled freight and mail

For the old co-op store

Amos hauled gas and oil

And logs and wood

When the weather got cold

He put a cab on the tractor

Sometimes he hauled kids to the school

And he drove adults to the airport

Amos hauled groceries for the Co-op

He hauled caribou meat and ﬁsh

He hauled logs to the sawmill

An‛ he hauled lumber for new houses

Mr. Josie hauled garbage to the dump

An‛ he moved housing materials

Amos Josie was also our postmaster

So he parked his tractor at the post ofﬁce

Amos always wore his black parky

And his special Didee‛s hat

Miss Edith Josie is famous And this is her brother Amos.

When I was a kid, this Elder gave me a Gwich‛in name, ”CHIH AHAA.”

Translated it means ”walking ahead.”

Allan Benjamin CHIH AHAA ﬁddle player and a snowshoe racer from Old Crow, Yukon. Allan is a Vuntut Gwich‛in artist who provides cartoons and poems to What‛s Up Yukon. He introduces us to two sets of characters who represent Allan‛s family and traditional Gwich‛in life growing up in Old Crow.
