Makes every FORD a betier FORD Plenty of oil, but oil-starved just the same. Our research engineers studied Ford lubrication for six years, and, briefly, that was the condition which they found to prevail with perhaps the majority of Fords now in operation. Plenty of oil in the crankcase, but no oil or not enough oil getting to the wrist-pin bearings and the upper half of the cylinder walls, which the Ford lubricating system, excellent as it is, won’t lubricate.unless the oil is right. Zerolene “F” for Fords, the Standard Oil Company’s new oil for Ford cars, fulfills the firstand most essential requirement ofa Ford lubricant—it gets to the parts to be lubricated! Its body : and its exceptional adhesive and “crawling” qualities aresuch that the lubricating system distributes it in proper quantity to every part requiring lubrication, under all operating condi- tions, winter and summer. ° Zerolene “F” for Fords will increase the gasoline mileage, reduce valve-grinding, ‘carbon removal and other upkeep costs, and lengthen the life of every Ford in which itis used. It isa distinct advance in Ford lubrication, offered to the public without any corresponding advance in price. A Ford, well treated, is an A-1 transportation investment.
