"Turn her in? Whv should I? That
old Ford is as good as she ever was. Since I
switched to that new Zerolene 'F' for Fords
she runs like a clock and seems to have a
bit more power too."
Zerolene "F" for Fords gets to all the bear
ings requiring lubrication especially the
wrist-pin bearings end the upper half of the
cylinder walls that ore frequently oil-starved
when an unsuitable lubricant is used.
It deposits a minimum of carbon, and be
cause it lubricates better, enables the engine
to develop a considerable margin of power
over and above what you're accustomed to
expect from your Ford.
And it costs not more, but less than most
of the special Ford oils now on the market.
A Ford is an A-l transportation invest
ment. Protect your investment by proper
lubrication.
