MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUXE. MEDFORD. OREGON, SITSD:Y. 'APRIL 25. 1937 PAGE SETEJT DEALERS AID OWNERS WITH INSPECTION FOR Now that spring U her, the auto mobile must be carefully prepared for hot weather driving after a win ter of hard usage. This process is essential to safety. It la essential to prevent trouble, to prevent burned-out bearings, blow ing out of tires, battery failure and unnecessary and expensive wear. Announcing a big summerlzlng movement for the aid of car owners, local officials of General Petroleum corporation and service stations fea turing this company's Mobil prod ucts, advise that thin, winter oil and grease must be replaced with heavier lubricants to guard against undue friction and mechanical difficulties. It Is explained, however, that the aummerlzlng movement embraces more than Just changing oil and grease. During this campaign the stations and dealers are offering a free Inspection service that lncludos: Draining of gasoline tank to re move dirt; cleaning of strainers and blowing out of fuel lines to make sure gasoline wlU flow freely; drain ing and flushing of radiator, crank case, transmission and differential; cleaning and servicing of battery and light bulbs; complete checking of tires; checking the fan belt and oil filter; cleaning Interior of car and polishing of all glass. To have these things done now, while the aummerlzlng campaign is on, declare General officials, means to aave regrets later. It means more pleasure In driving and true ecqnomy and safety in the long run. E "Vacation Robber No. 1."

While the amount of driving nat urally Increases In summer It does not increase nearly as fast as the amount of tire trouble, thus prov ing that hot weather Is largely re sponsible for the multiplying tire failures. This analysis of heat and Its re lation to tire performance was re cently made In testing the new, U. 8. Royal Master a tire made of triple -tempered rubber which Is re ferred to In the report as running exceptionally cool under all weather conditions. Accordingly, to Insure trouble-free trawl In the summer months, the motorist Is urged to replace hie old, worn tires with new ones, for regard less of temperature new tires are de pendable, particularly If they are U, 8.
