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.
Try Aristo Oil for three months. Test it under nil condi
tions. Note the improvement in the operation of your motor.
