Type Engine
The "Tj'-Head, illus
trated hero, is one of
several types in pop
ular use today. En
gines of this type,
like all internal com
bustion engines, re
quire an oil that
maintains its full lu
bricating qualities at
cylinder heat, burns
clean in the combus
tion chambers and
goes out with ex
haust. ZEROLENE
fills these require
ments perfectly, be
cause if is correctly
refined from selected
Cm lifornia aaphal U

ZEROLENE is made in
several consistencies to
meet with scientific ex
actness the lubrication
needs of all types of au
tomobile engines. Get our
"Correct Lubrication
Chart" covering your car.
At dealers everywhere
and Standard Oil Service
Stations.
Experts Say,
"Zerolene Is Better"
Why are the majority of cars
now lubricated with ZERO
LENE? Because
ZEROLENE does hold better
compression, does give better
protection to the moving parts,
does deposit less carbon. And
this is the testimony of the
leading automobile distributors
of the Coast.
They know from the records of
their service department and
we know from exhaustive tests
that ZEROLENE, correctly
refined from selected California
asphalt-base crude, gives per
fect lubrication with less wear
and less carbon deposit.
ZEROLENE is the correct oil
for all types of automobile en
gines. It is the correct oil for
your automobile. Get our lu
brication chart showing the
correct consistency for your
