Manufacturers of lubricants recognize the impor-
tance of the qualities required for use
in
our equip-
ment
and
they
are
cooperating
fully
to assure the
use of only those oils which
fulfill
these require-
ments. The
oil
distributor
and
oil
manufacturer
are
to be held responsible for the results obtained from
their products.
The outstanding lubricating requirements for
effi-
cient operation of the engine are, The maintaining
of piston rings
in
a clean, free condition; absence
of hard carbon
and
"varnish" deposits on or within
engine ports; the prevention of bearing corrosion;
and
the
promotion of general cleanliness within
the engine.
Proper operation
and
maintenance of the engine
are
necessary to obtain the desired results from
the lubricating
oil.
