Motor Parts Were Measured After Each Oil Was Tried . . . Cylinders were measured with a micrometer, at top and bottom, pistons likewise, and the cylinder taper accurately recorded, after each oil was tested. These measurements were accurate to one ten-thousandths of an inch. This is what the reports of the test developed.

American Automobile Association observers purchased-all oils used in the open market; placed them in separate containers, marked them with a code letter, and locked them up. All crankcase fillings were made by AAA observers who then sealed the inlets and outlets of each motor. All gasoline allotments, every temperature reading, every micrometer measure- ment, every test was checked by an AAA observer. Duri:F every moment of the test,an AAA observer was riding in each car. The records of this test were initisled by an AAA observer as each entry of fact was made, and will be shown to any person on request to the company. CoNoco's Superiority Was Proven Under AAA Supervision * Lubricity means slipperiness, sm lower co-efficient of friction, as com oil. The Extra Lubricity of CO!
