So fill it up with good “warm-blooded”
Zerolene—a “cold-test”oil that flows freely
in zero weather —and watch the result—
Your motor will give perfect winter service — easier
starting, full power and maximum fuel mileage. And
you 11 avoid the troubles that usually result from, the
use of a poor cold-test” oil—worn bearings, scored
cylinders and prematurely diluted crankcase oil.
The Zerolene Correct Lubrication Chart—wherever
Zerolene is sold — contains our recommendation of
the proper grade of Zerolene for the winter lubrica­
tion of your car.
