HARD CARBON ?
Many "luxury" oils, burdened with freight charges and distribution costs, are
sold to motorists as "better" oils.
Yet they form quantities of hard carbon. Your engine gradually fills up
with layers of coke-like deposits. Knocking, burned valves, lost power are
only a few of the inevitable results.
Shell Motor Oil at 25 i per quart forms no hard carboa Only a little soft
soot which blows away with the exhaust gases. , And Shell Oil Company
guarantees that Shell Motor Oil of the proper grade will lubricate your
engine as thoroughly as any oil at any price.
