Klfi Acids The new Cycol refining process eliminates the use of acids, though moSt refiners use them. While acids clear the "crude oil" they chemi cally change its Structure and compo sition, thus seriously cutting its lubricating value. Such oils break down under engme temperatures. They distill offand escape ns vapor through the breath er exhauSt. The new refining process of Cycol selects from the "crude" those elements of greatest lubricating value andstabilityinpcrformance, ejecting those elements which readily break down under engine heat and cause excessive carbon deposits.
