Stability The new Cycol will Stand
the hardest kind of usage, k is refined
to meet the severer conditions of heat
and pressure developed by the modern
hinji compression engines, assuring you
an unbroken oil film where heat, pres
sure and friction are greatest.
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.

JJess Qtrboil- As to carbon, Cycol
like all oils deposits some carbon. But
it deposits less carbon than any other
oil. The most exhaustive tests have
proven that Statement.
Even more important, the carbon
that is deposited liy Cycol is soft and
easily removable. It is not hard or sticky
and cannot scratdi a cylinder.
