Because of this affinity for metal —this actually combining with the metal itself, CONOCO Germ- Motor Oil mever leaves the bearings. - Where other oils drain out and leave the surface dry, Germ-Processed oil penetrates the metal sur- . faces, forming a film that adheres for months. This “carry-over” film — this always present film gives " ample lubrication to all parts needing it when a cold moinru , until such time as oil from the case can reach them. This remarkable and exclusive feature of CONOCO Germ-Processed Motor Oil is re- inforced by the fact that these oils are refined from only carefully selected paraffin base crudes by the most modern and scientific methods known to metrolmm technologist. Patented processes are to remove all objectionable elements, leaving ectly balanced, stable product that is 100% tubricating oil. Thousands o tests demonstrata its remarkable resistance to corrosion. The majority of motor oils never receive this degree of refining. Nomne ever exceed it. Increased gasoline mileage and improved motor pedormnnee are realized through the use of this new oil. The exclusive CONOCO Germ Proocess so adds to the “oiliness” of this lubricant t.lut metal-against-metal friction is eliminated, even in motor starting after all oil ordinarily would have drained from the motor into the crankcase. The periect sealing qualities of the CONOCO fracture- proof film insures a high compression efficiency tha$ results in greatly mcreasedp erformance. Marked improvements in er, and flexibility are noticeable. Due to the Germ Process and the select, premi- um, paraffin base crude stocks used, CONOCO Germ-Processed Motor Oil ponttvely does not break down under the most intense cylinder wall heat. A climb, high speed, heavy load, temperature extremes — none of these strains cause this oil to. heat sufficiently to actually burn, break down or eva rate to any appreciable degree. By comparison many oils on the market, you may eonleldently expcct a saving in oil consumption up to 50%. Automotive engineers agree that 40% to 60% 5 of all motor wear occurs during the starting pe- riod. This destructive wear is definitely reduced by the use of CONOCO Germ-Processed Motor Oil. Ordmary oil, thinned by heat and dilution, drains down the piston rings when the motor is stopped, leaving lxttle or no lprotectmgfilm. starte ing the motor, a considerable time is required for the oil to reach al all bearings and workmg surfaces. adverse conditions, such as winter temperatures, this time may be from 15 to 20 minutes or even longer.
