Oil Changes With Seasons Gasoline and oil. like clothing, are changed with the seasons, says a re port from Mobilgas refineries. Vola tility of gasoline and body of oil must be changed to compensate for radical climatic extremes, The most unique, colorful, accur ate and Interesting chart ever devised for locating various moving parts of all cars, and determining with un erring accuracy the correct lubricants for each, is now employed by Mobil gas station operators as a guide to roiiow in practicing the Wlnterproof Inspection plan." This Is the statement of J. A. Mo Clure, In charge of General petrol eum service stations, throughout the entire marketing area of this com pany. The chart referred to is the new X-Ray Lubrication guide. "Revealing for the first time, and In a colorful way, the hidden Im portant lubrication points of oars that need watching to Insure smooth operation and prevent trouble," says Mr. McClure, "this chart, designed by Moblloll engineers after long and careful research, puts correct infor mation on every kind and model of car Instantly at the finger tips of station manager or assistant. "What Is more important, it en ables the motorist to see the 'lnsldes' of his car for himself. Because of this, It has attracted widespread public interest since Its recent Intro ductlon. The X-Ray chart Is a focal point pulling the attention of thous ands of motorists visiting Mobilgas and Moblloll service depots. "Even women, who as a rule are not mechanically minded, are at tracted to this X-Ray guide because of Its colorful appesrsnce and the easy way It reveals facts about the f cars they drive. "They like to work the magic finder, a simple slide-rule affair. which enables anyone to quickly find 1 every hidden Important mechanical part of every known car. "It Is remarkable that all this in formation could be embraced within the scope of a single sheet of Ulus t ration, names and numbers. But it has been done. In today's cars, there are 31 different cooling fans and water pumps; 19 different steering mechanisms and front wheel sus pensions; 16 different clutch releases, brake and clutch pedals; 10 different types of engines, etc. They are all shown. "This chart is added assurance of expert workmanship."
