GOOD TEST
—of the purity and stability of a
motor oil is the amount of carbon
it forms.
Zerolene forms, on an average,
yo% less carbon than other oils.
The carbon is soft and fluffy and
most of it blows out with the ex
haust. For this reason the Zero
lene'lubricated automobile or mo
tor-boat may be driven from 25%
to 50% farther without having
the valves ground or the cylinders
rebored.
Zerolene forms less carbon than
any other motor oil \nown to us.
■f
Insist on Zerolene—a better oil.
Ask for it by name—Zerolene.
