But just look how clean and carbon-free it kept die piston in my right hand. No carbon-removal bill for the owner of that bright piston. And you'll nover know how hot it gets inside your motor (unless you've ever touched the business end of a blowtorch). "RPM" fortified to stick to hot spots most oils leave exposed to wear. It has an oxida tion inhibitor, too, that makes it stand up under heat. Most folks didn't learn jn school that some vital parts of an engine can corrode just like some of the shiny metal trunrning on the putsidt of your car; Improved RPM Motor Oil is very tough with corrosion stops it cold, and saves plenty of bearing trouble. Uko an tgg-feoater, the aankshaft whips ordinary oils into a froth that impairs circulation to vital Parts 'and makes the oil level seem higher than it really is. .We fixed that, with a de-foaming agent. And it's another car-saving reason for switching to rRPM. Keep your Standard National CrocCt Gird with you nd you won't need to bother about cash for service and gas when you're jipotoring. Your Card provides an accurate record of motoring expenses 'too. So use it wherever you go in the U. S. and Canada . . . STANDARD Of.
