Oil, when thin, loses its cushioning ability. The protective film between the moving metal surfaces is squeezed out, hav- ing lost its resistence and resilience. The metal surfaces move one against the other. Heat is increased, and the metal wears away. Oil is good for purposes of lubrica- tion just to the extent that it resists heat—holds its body and cushioning ability under heat. In the bearings of an automobile motor—and particu- larly between the cylinder walls and pistons—the heat is always intense when the motor is running. RENO IREN EE 100 PURE PENNSYLVANIA!
