Malk and Third, a tb bna, Or. 4 M U.S.Gov.expertsreport that oils correctly refined from asphalt-base crude "distill without decomposition" (do not breakup and lose their lubricating value under cylinder heat) and "are much better adapted to motor cylinders, as far as their carbon forming proclivities are concern ed, than are paraffine-base Penn sylvania oils." Motorists who use Zerolene, an oil scientifically refined from asphalt base crude, back up the experts with reports such as these: "Covered over 16,000 miles without adjust ing valves or cleaning out carbon." "The carbon taken out of this car in 50,000 miles amounted to less than an ounce."
