O lubricate, an oil must decrease friction between metal surfaces. A motor oil docs this by jeparaling the metal surfaces, and theoretically keeping them separated under all operating conditions. It may amaze you to know that many oils frcoucntly fail to do this. Think how this “separation” of moving parts is accomplished. The oil forms a wall or “film" between opposing surfaces .. . anil it is upon this film that the reputation of every oil must rest The film is thin, of course, for it must ride in the tight crevices of bearings, cylinder-walls, etc. . . . lint it must also be of extraordinary strength ... it must cling tena ciously ... or the pressure of your motor will squeeze and hurl it from the vital points that must be kept separated. Penetrative Lubricity... The New Gauge of Motor Oil Merit Penetrative lubricity is the outstanding char acteristic of the new Conoco Germ-Processed Motor Oils. This characteristic is the direct esult of Germ-Processing. You must know this story of Germ-Process. Briefly, it is the patented result of 16 years' experimentation by the British scientists, Wells and Southcombe. Back in 1901, when everything of fundamental importance was known about the refining of mineral oils . . . these two scientists foresaw that additional improvements must be made, in order to keep lubricants abreast of the future development of the “gasoline buggy ” They knew that animal and vegetable oils were "oilier” than mineral oils could ever be, but were impractical (or use in internal com bustion motors which operated at high tem peratures. Finally the Germ-Essence, containing the “oily” property lacking in mineral oils, was isolated. And a method was devised for com bining this essence with highly refined mineral oils. Only Conoco Oils Are Germ-Processed. . . This Gives Tlu./i Penetrative Lubricity Continental Oil Company now owns the ex* elusive right to Germ-Processing for North America. Only with these new oils can you secure a fracture-proof film which actually penetrates the metal surfaces of your motor! What does this mean? ... It means that the all-important film no longer may be hurled and squeezed from moving parts. The Germ*! Essence carries the oil into every minute crevice . . . into the very metal itself. And there it clings—clings when the heat of high speeds seeks to scorch and drive it away . . . clings when bearings try to squeeze it out . . . clings, too, when you stop your motor. And this is most important . . . for the oils you are now using drain away as the motor stops, and require 5 to 15 minutes to resume their guard duty when you next tread on the starter. That's why f0% to 60% of your motor wear occurs in those first minutes of operation, Save your motor by the use of this new oil. Introduce it to Conoco Germ-Processed oils today at the sign of the Red Triangle. GERM^f PROCESSED PARAFFIN ^ .ASF MOTOR OIL i FILL UP AT A. and R. Service Station and Chevrolet Garage
