Ariato Oil ii refined by the mott advanced procciiei, designed to remove e very t hing in the crude which haa no lubricating value. s. Not Flint-like ' : "Carbon" which you must chisel out of motors :LL motor oils deposit some carbonaceous residue, known as "carbon. No oil does otherwise. But there are two kinds of "carbon." That from some oils attaches to piston heads, spark plugs, and valves. It becomes hard and Hint-like. And it stays. Chisels are required to remove it or acetylene torches to burn it off. It is hard enough to score cylinder walls. Causes Four Motor Troubles This hard "carbon" acts as an abrasive, wearing cylinder walls, piston rings, bearings, etc. Parts of it often become incandescent, causing "knock ing" due to pre-ignition. Other particles become attached to the'spark plugs, short-circuiting the spark, so your motor misses. Still others work up under valves, causing bad seat ing and loss of compression, which means loss of power. And this hard "carbon" forms mere quickly than an o titer kind about which you should know. The Other is Soft and Fluffy The residue that Aristo Motor Oil deposits is of another kind. It is soft and fluffy so that most of it blows out with the exhaust. It is softer than your cylinders, pistons and bearings, so cannot scratch or wear them. Cars run thousands cf miles farther without having valves ground or cylinders, pistons and spark plugs cleaned. Your motor retains full compression. It doesn't "knock." , With Aristo Oil motors ct efficient lubrication without develop ing these troubles. They la3t longer, run more smoothly and give mere power. Aristo ir, made by lubrication specialists equipped with every known facility fcr the production of a perfect motor oil. Used by famous drivers in the most gruelling tests.
