The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk What year did Chev switch from splash oiling to pressure?

The 1953 model year cars had splash oil with standard transmissions, and the 235 pressure lube with Powerglide. I put one of those is my second car, a 1952 Deluxe standard. (boy, I wish I had that one back).

I think all trucks still had splash in '53.

Everything went to pressure lube in '54.

But, 53 and 54 pressure lube still had shimmed mains I think.
