Are you draining your battery trying to get yonr starter to "turn her over"? Does the oil in your crank-case congeal and fail to feed properly for the first fifteen to thirty minutes while you are warming up? This is due to the use of a poor cold test oil, which con geals or thickens up and does not flow freely in cold weath er, making the motor stiff and causing undue wear through faulty lubrication. What you need is a zero cold test oil one that flows freely at zero temperature ZEROLENE. ZEROLENE, on account of its fluidity, keeps your motor flexible and easy to turn over in the coldest weather elim inates the sluggish action and lack of lubrication whilo your motor is warming up.
