Not since car owners were almost uni wrsalljr convinced that it was nwssaiy to have the olJ. dirty, u-orn-out oil drained from their cfank-easri at regular intervals has an idea been developed which is ot more importance than the new educational campaign now being conducted to teach car owners the necessity of having their entirt cars completely relubricated period ically. Now-a-daya. car owners rarely drive their cars more than i.ooo miles without Kitting free crankcase service at a garage or service station; but few realize as yet that it is just as important to renew the lubricants in the transmission, differential and chassis bearings also. Although these parts do not require as frequent attention as the motor, the failure of the lubricants in them often causes repairs iust as serious and expensive as burned out bearings or scored cylinders. In a recent interview. Ralph Gilpin, Tide Water lubrication expert, gave this inter esting explanation of the new complete lubrication service campaign: "For years motorists have paid careful attention to the lubrication of their mo tors. They now realize the economy of using high quality oil; they watch their oil t level carefully; and, for the most part, they have the oil drained from their crankcase after a reasonable period of service, know ing that the oil becomes dirty, worn-out and diluted by raw casoline that seeps past the piston rings. "But all too often this praise-worthy at tention to the protection of their costly tnotnwt is made at the expense of the other vital friction spots on their cars that re quire high quality and periodic lubrication too. They forget that the hard working transmission and differential, and the hard pressed chassis bearings also need protec tion. Otherwise, deadly heat and tearing, grinding friction attack them. JJ the lubri cants become worn-out. fatigued or chan nelled, these vital parts wear out quickly. Often they are ruined. The result is break downs and repair bills for universal joints, pinion gears, master gears, balls, pins and bolts and overhauling of the entire car. "The motorist, however? has not been entirely to blame for the apparent indiffer ence toward the lubrication of the other vital parts of his car. in addition to the motor. Even if he has wanted to give his car complete lubrication protection, there has been, until now. no sure, quick and con-1 venient way to do it. ' "He drives up to a service station to have his car completely lubricated. Instead of getting iu rnt ants ot one. unitorm. hfRh quality, he gets a motor oil ol one make, a gear-lubricant ot another nuke, and a rhastis-greastPot still a third. In ad of driving away with complete hiuh quality lubrication, he gets an avirnnent of lubri cants, good, bad or iiuliUeient. And the protection these umccHaneo'ia lubricants give his car may be very far Iroin complete. A National Campaign "To impress on t ar owners the nfccs?ity of getting complete car lubrication icr iodically, and to make it easy lor them to get correct high quality lubricants tor the transmission, differential and chassis ot their cars. Tide Water, with the coopera tion ol its national Veedol dealer organiza tion, is conducting a'n educational cam p.fign throughout the country during the first week in November. Vhouatids ot dealers now display orange and black Vee dol signs telling ear owners to get complete lubrication service now and avoid winter troubles. The service is simple, quick and inextnsivCi It consists of three steps. First, the worn-out motor oil is drained and the crankcase refilled with fresh, clean, high quality oil. Then, the chassis bearings are thoroughly lubricated. Third, the transmission and differential are cleaned out and refilled with the proper lubricants. Already thousands of car owners have been told about this campaign and have had their cars completely lubricated trom stem to stern. They find that the small cost is more than offset by the increased protection this service gives in warding off trouble and repair bills, by the smoother, more silent and more efficient operation of their cars, and by the increased second hand value that a mechanically perfect car commands. Important Now "Complete car lubrication is especially important now; in fact, it is really a neces sity because the lubricants in most cars are worn out from bard use during the summer months. They cannot be ex pected to give protection against heat and friction during the hard driving months ahead tough months when the automo bile repair business grows fat and the car owner's pocket book lean." Motorists no longer jack cars up for winter. There was a time when motorists were in the habit of jacking Vieir cars up tor the winter, because they dreaded the dirnm tortures of cold weather riding and regarded winter driving troubles as a neces-iry evil. Too often winter driving was nothing but a dimal siege of hard-startir.g. radiator Itoiling. breakdowns and repair bills, with very little real pleasure in the bargain. Th'' picture shows that the motor of your car is by no means the only part that needs careftil lubrication attention. On the average car, there are seldom less than thirty other vital points that require lubrication. On some cars, the number runs as high as sixty Now, with the large number of closed cars in use. conrhined with improved side curtains on touring models, winter tops and car radiators, winter riding has been deprived of its sting and most motorists titte their cars all winter. Htit'although they find more pleasure iu riding, all too often they are victims of mechanical troubles in their cars which make winter operation unpleasant and ex pensive. The terrific strain that winter driving at low temperatures over rough. fuow packed roads puts on a car is the most frequent cause of breakdowns. The vital parts the motor, transmission, dit-; fercntial and chassis bearings operate at extra loads and under great handicaps. They deserve the utmost protection that you can give them. Experts have long since proved that cor rect luhrication is the most important fac tor in keeping cars in pertect meehanual condition. In tacti pool lubrication is the direct or indirect cause ol 75 C all car repair Hill, and. in winter, the dangei ol poor lubrication is especially great. It pays the car owners, therefore, to pay particular attention to the Intimation o( every pait ot his car during the cold weather mouths It goes without saving that only lubricants ol high quality should le used. A few cents difference iu the cost of lubricants olten makes a difference ol hundreds of dollars in repair bills. ,Thc lubrication of the motor is. ol course, most important. In addition lo the neces sity of using high quality oil, the crankcase should be drained and refilled after cverv 500 miles ol operation. The grade of oil used is also important,. Many motors. due to the nature ol the lubrication sys tems, require hghtei grades ol oil in winter than in summer. Otherwise, the oil mav congeal and fail to distribute itscll to the vital parts until the motor becomes hot. (it the meantime, the high pnhshrd metal turlaccs are unprotected. Olten cylimlri tk'cmne scored and even bearings burn out. Motorists should always take the advice ol luhrication expeits in choosing the grade ol oil lot Limit cars. Most oil companies issue charts, and Tide Water issues a Veedol Motoi .Protection Guide which gives motorists the scientific recommenda tions as to the grade ol oil they should ue.j The- Guides are distributed to thousands! ot garages and service stations so that youj can easily find out the correct oil for your! motot. I The lubrication of the other vital partsi of the car aiust be carefullv watched too.
