National automotive authorities estimate that seven years serv­
ice from your car is a reasonable expectation with perfected lub­
rication. The life of the average car is only five and three-tenths
years with ordinary lubrication. You may not plan to keep your
car that long, but it will have greater resale value if you follow
these three important steps in securing perfected lubrication:

Cycol is perfected by an advanced method of oil refining — the
new Hexeon process. It makes Cycol free from destructive
“sulpho” compounds — the impurities which cause motor oils to
break down and thin out rapidly under engine heat.
♦
Because of this, Cycol retains its “body” under high operating
temperatures — maintains the essential lubricating filln between
moving parts and reduces friction wear to a minimum. Use Cycol
regularly and get all the value out of your car that its makers put
into it.
