Anyone have a good high resolution copy of the Ford Lube Chart, they would like to share??
I would like to print one out for my shop on a large fomatt printer, so need one that is better than what I have found so far (most are thumb nail sized).
Thanks

I don't, but I bought the chart at the national meet and it's large. I'm sure you can also mail order it from the parts houses.

Yes, most of the venders have them, I just would like to make one that fits were I have to hang it.

So buy this one from the vendors for less than $10. It comes 17x22. If that's not big enough, scan it in high resolution and print it out any size you want.

I think he wants to get it for free.

No I am not looking for free, I have not checked on the published lube charts, but most items like that have a copyright, so they are not to be copied or scanned. I have it on my list to add to my next parts order, however I would much prefer purchasing a digital copy so I can make it the size I want, not what someone else whats to print them at.

You will need a very high res .tiff file, not a .jpg. Perhaps the Benson Ford Research Center in Dearborn, with all their Ford archives, can provide such a scan. LINK Wish I had one, too. A 4' x 6' wall chart would be impressive.

Scanning and resizing for your own use is not a violation of copyright. By purchasing a copyrighted copy, you are allowed to do that. Just don't sell or give any copies away, and keep the original put away as proof of ownership.
