A DARING, competitive test and
what a result! New and Improved
Conoco Germ Processed Motor Oil out
distanced five worthy rivals, thanks to
the extraordinary film strength and
penetrativeness our recently patented
process gives it. Five quarts of this re
markable new oil lubricated a motor for
the almost unbelievable distance of 4,729
miles before the motor was wrecked !
Five other oils, all nationally known,
competed with New and Improved Co
noco Germ Processed Motor Oil in this
test. All cars were driven under AAA
supervision, under exactly the same con
ditions until the motors could no longer
operate. The notable thing is that five
quarts of New and Improved Conoco
Germ Processed Motor Oil went more
than 3,000 miles farther than the first
oil to fail, and over 1,400 miles farther
than the best of its competitors!
The results of this test should guide
your motor oil purchases from now on.
Look for the Red Triangle Sign.
Five quarts of each brand of oil of tho
same S.A.E. grade from measures
checked by the Bureau of Weights and
Measures, State of Indiana, were care
