i
The Popular Motor Oil
More ZEROLENE is used for
automobiles on the Pacific
Coast than til other oils com
bined. Leading motor car distributors
praise ZEROLENE, correctly
refined from selected Califor
nia asphalt-base crude, because
it maintains its lubricating
body at cylinder heat and gives
perfect lubrication with less
wear and less carbon deposit

Correct Lubrication
' for the Air-Cooled
Type Engine
Engines are either water-cooled
or air-cooled.
This, the air-cooled
type, like all internal
combustion engines, re
quires an oil that holds
its full lubricating qual
ities at cylinder heat,
burns clean in the com
bustion chambers and
goes out with exhaust
ZEROLENE fills these
requirements perfectly,
because it is correctly re
fined from selected Cai
tornia asphalt-base crude.
