Starting Friday While They Last Only $2.98 IliiliiiilillllfS Colorful Texas Ranger Joe Bridge (left) of Falfurrias, and Ranger Tully Seay (second from right) of Carrizo Springs visit Continental Oil Company test-run headquarters at Laredo, Texas, to learn from Wade Johnson (second from left), and Frank Suess (far right) "what's going on." The two company technicians ex plain to the Rangers that six test cars of the company are being driven 800 miles per day at speeds averaging 60 miles per hour over a period of 70 days, to test the wear-prevention qualities cf a ne-v super motor oil developed by the company. At the end of the test run, which put more than 50,000 miles on each car equal to five years' mileage for the average family car the motors were torn down and checked for wear, which proved to be less than one one thousandth of an inch on cylinders and crankshafts.

Continental New Oil Is Revealed i Continental Oil Company to day revealed development of a new motor oil the result of eight years' laboratory research, two winters of testing in Mon tana and Colorado, and a 50,-000-mile road test in tempera tures ranging up to 110 de grees, according to Jim Bridge water, local agent fcr Continen tal. The new oil .according to Jim Bridgewater, marks another ad vance in methods pioneered and developed by Continental to use additives in mineral oils to decrease wear and assure long er life for engines. The spectacular road test made on the Mexican border in the summer of 1S49 showed the oil "practically stops wear be fore it starts." Jim Bridgewater reported. "In fact, in measure ments with highly, sensitive in struments .wear averaged less than one one-thousandth of an inch on cylinders and crank shafts. Original factory machin ing marks we're still visible cn pistcn rings," Jim Eridgewater said. In the 70-day road test, six cars and four trucks piled up ' a combined half-million miles at an average speed of 60 miles an hour by cars and 53 by the trucks. Traveling 803 miles a day. six days a week, each car rolled up a minimum of 50000 milps in 1h fpsfc. This riistnnrp ) equals five years' mileage for the average lamuy car, accora- The severe road test was cer tified by Norman Penfcld of the Southwest Research Institute. Penfold is acknowledged as an outstanding independent auth ority on oil testing. The oil, say company techni cians, carries a new detergent, or cleaning agent, which keeps road-dirt and other contamin ants in suspension, rather than allowing them to build up on motor surfaces or cause rings to stick. Gasoline mileage for the last I 5,000 miles was as good as for the first 5.000 actually there was an average difference for the fleet of only 4-100 of a mile per gallon, technicians conduct ing the test reported.
