USE
CORRECT
LUBRICANTS
Correct
lubrication
of
any
piece
of
mechanism
is
of
paramount
importance,
and
in no
instance
is
it
of
greater
importance
than
in
the
correct
choice
of
lubricant
for
a
motorcar
engine.
Automobile
engines
have
different
characteristics,
such
as
operating
temperatures,
oiling
systems.
size
of
oilways,
clearances
and
similar
technicalities,
and
the
use
of
the
correct
oil
is
therefore
essential.
