EVEN WITH today's reduced driving, your mo-;
tor oil is constantly exposed to dust and other
abrasives carried through the air. And even while
die oil lies idle in the crankcase, partially burned
fuel particles keep on promoting oil deterioration
And on today's short trips, at lower speeds,
your engine doesn't get hot enough to vaporize ;
water formed by combustion and condensation.
This' water accumulates in your crankcase and
further contaminates your oil.
So Instead of changing your motor oil every so .
