First of all he was impressed by the explanation of Oil-Plating. Simple enough, if you'll think what happens as Johnny’s dirty little hands touch the wallpaper. Anything greasy or oily on his hands becomes quite a permanent part of the paper. You’ll say permanent! In much the same way—forgetting technicalitiese—Conoco Germ Processed oil forms a lasting attachment for every working part of your engine. This union of oil and metal to produce a genuine, enduring Oil-Plating is brought about only by the Germ Process—patented. Thus the Germ Process not only multiplies the strength of the usual flowing type of oil-film, but creates Oil-Plating besides. And once Oil-Plating goes on, Conoco Germ Processed oil does not let it come off in minutes, hours, days . . . or any number of miles. Unable to run off while the car stands, Oil-Plating kills the old fear of starting “dry.” Likewise Oil-Plating refuses to let go in all the fury of 5,000 revolutions per minute. That's why your “good old car” or the latest model will stay more like new, with its engine Oil-Plated. And your whole Summer’s driving will take less Conoco Germ Proceased oil.
