To make quick and safe starting
doubly sure this winter, Standard Oil
Company announces two new grades
of Iso-VIs "D" Motor Oil and a new
Red Crown Quick-Fire Superfuel
Gasoline.
Car Manufacturers Kecommend
New Grades of Motor Oil
During the past year motor car
manufacturers through an investiga
tion sponsored b3' the Society of Auto
motive Engineers have made a study
of winter oil. They found that most
winter oils were too heavy and that
because of this, most people experi
enced unnecessary difficulty in start
ing. In cars with refinements such as
automatic starters and choke con
trols, it was predicted that starting
difficulty would be greater than ever
before if winter oils of the old type
were used. .
They therefore established a clas
sification for two new grades of mo
tor oil to be known as 10-W and 20
W; 20-W to be recommended for all
temperatures from freezing to zero
and 10-W for . temperatures below
that.
The two new grades of Iso-Vis "D"
are the oils developed by the Stand
ard Oil Company under this new
classification except they have gone
even further. The new 20-W Iso-Vis
"D" pours at 5 below zero and 10-W
at 20 below zero. Both grades start
to lubricate even on the coldest
morning the minute the starter on
any car Is pressed. This new instan
taneous lubrication feature is offered
the public at no increase in motor
oil costs.
New Qnick-Fire Superfuel
Developed
The new Quick-Fire Superfuel is
claimed by Standard to be the fastest
starting gasoline that has ever been
offered. They have increased the per- j
centage of high-volatile quick-fire
fractions for winter driving by 55.
Not only is it quick-fire for winter
starting, but is still 70 Octane, the
top anti-knock rating in its price
class. This new gasoline is called the
Complete Superfuel because it embod
ies every quality demanded of a per
fect gasoline quick-starting, top
antl-kncck rating, free from sulphur
and gum, perfect balance, unsurpass
ed in mileage, no premium price.
Both of these new petroleum pro
ducts are now offered at all Standard
stations and dealers.

CAR MANUFACTURERS
RECOMMEND NEW
GRADES OF MOTOR OIL
After thorough study of common causes
of difficulty in winter starting, motor car
manufacturers have found, through in
vestigations sponsored by the Society of
Automotive Engineers, that most people
use too heavy oil in winter, and that
there is great variation in tho starting 't
characteristics of winter grade oils. They,
therefore, recommend the use of two
new grades for winter to be known as
10-W and 20-W, both of which are to
have very definite viscosity specifica
tions for starting at low temperatures.
They pour at sub-zero tem
peratures' . . . Give easier
starting . . . Yet could be used
with perfect safety in mid
summer. Will not sludge. Now
ready at all Standard Stations
Get set for the easiest starting winter you've
ever experienced. At all Standard Stations
you'll now find two new winter grades of
IsosVis WD" Anti-Sludge Motor Oil-lO-W
and 20-W. These new grades not only meet
the latest recommendations of car manufac
turers for winter motor oils, but pours
at 5 below zero, and 10-W pours at 20 be
low zero. At those temperatures these oil.' let
your motor turn over easily give posicivc
lubrication instantly. And you don't need to
worry about these oils thinning out danger
ously under the heat of driving. They are so
little affected by high temperatures that they
could be used with perfect safety in your
motor on the hottest summer day, though
they would give somewhat higher consump
tion in hot weather. Because these new oil
do not sludge you will get just as quick,
positive circulation of lubricant in your mo
tor at the end of 1000 miles as when "C
you first put them in your crankcase.
