cll me n had d had “Give mea quart of Oil” This careless request may bring costly penalties One of the surest ways to invite friction-drag and engine trouble is to say,‘ Give mea quart of oil.” “Give me a quart of Oil’’ invites LOSS OF POWER You can get full compression— complete power—only by using oil whose body suits your engine. Correct body is seldom secured saying, “Give me a quart of oil! “Give me a quart of Oil’’ invites WEAR OF BEARINGS Bearings differ widely in type and size. For every oil that suits your engine bearings, you will find many which will cause undue fric- tion. An almost sure start toward bearing trouble is “Give me a quart of oil.” “Give me a quart of Oil’’ invites CARBON DEPOSIT Guesswork won't eliminate this trouble. Suppose the body is too light for the piston clearance, The oil then works too freely into the combustion chambers. In burning, excess carbon accumulates unless. the oil's ash is light and naturally expelled through the exhaust. An easy road to carbon trouble . “Give me a quart of oil.” ‘*Give me a quart of Oil’’ invites WEAR OF PISTON PINS The location of the piston pins within the heated pistons and the slight oscillating motion. of the pins or bushings demand an oil which will spread readily, yet maintain the proper film between the pins and bushings. To encourage piston-pin trou- bles prematurely, it is only neces- sary to say, “Give me a quart of oil.” “Give me a quart of Oil’’ invites SCORED CYLINDER WALLS Scoring frequently results from oil of low lubricating quality. Often, also, the oil's body is too light. Too often the traced straight to quart of oil.” can be me a blame “ Give “Give me a quart of Oil’’ invites NOISE When a comparatively new car pounds and racks its way along the roads it is seldom necessary to ask what brought on premature old age. Generally it is undue friction—resulting from incorrect lubricating oil. A way to invite premature noise is an off-hand re- quest, “Give me a quart of oil.” ‘*Give me a quart of Oil’’ increases MAINTENANCE COST Ii the oil's quality is low, an ex- cess quantity will be consumed and still the proper film will not be maintained, If its body is incorrect, it may fail to reach and protect all mov- ing parts. In either case, excessive fric- tion-drag results. Fewer miles are obtained from each gallon of gasoline. Your fuel and re; bills mount up. This common waste is the fre- quent result of “Give me a quart of oil.” **Give me a quart of Oi!”’ reduces SECOND-HAND VALUE At an auction sale in New York City, second hand cars of uni- formly prominent makes were auctioned off. The bodies were in good condition. The prices of the carseoriginally ranged from about $1000 to $3000. The selling price in some cases was as low as $200. Why? Because the engines and other mechanical parts were badly worn. Was the wear due to long ser- vice? No. The age of most of these cars disproved that, Pre- mature wear was evident It is safe to say the owners of these cars had used the common expression—" Give me a quart of oil.” They paid a high price for their carelessness. How to secure the Correct Oil for your car O NOT say, “Give me a quart of oil.” You want an oil of the highest quality and of the correct body to meet the lubricating requirements of your engine.
