Heat Terrific Enough To Melt Steel
Created When You "Step On The Gas"
MIRACLE OF LUBRICATION AT HIGH
TEMPERATURE IS EXPLAINED
Tou are aitting within a tew inchea of enough heat to melt steel,
while driving a car. You may be cool aa a cucumber, but you are conveyed
through apace by a veritable blast furnace. This la the strange fact
cited by H. W. Taylor, lubrication department manager for the western
marketers of Moblloil and Mobitgrease.
"Steel melta at 3,000 degreea," saya
Taylor, "but the combined tempera
ture created by an automobile are
1,300 to 1,600 degrees higher than
this.
"You can't get near a steel biaat
furnace, nor can you look into it
without colored glasses. But, so help
me, it'a true, you can drive a car and
keep cool while it is creating the fol
lowing temperciturea : Combustion
chambers, 3,500 to 3.800 degree;
crankcase. 200; main and connecting
rod bearings, 250 to 300; rear gear
housing, 300; transmission, 150.
"The logical question," continued
the Moblloil executive, "la: 'Why
doesn't the car melt?' The answer Is:
The modern miracle of lubrication,
plus air and water cooling, plus the
fact that the combustion tempera
tures are only instantaneous, protects
all the vital parts and enables you to
drive this veritable furnace in both
comfort and safety.
"The wonder is that oil and grease
can be produced speciflcslly for each
part that will continue to lubricate
and protect the metal efficiently
without breaking down. Such is the
achievement of the petroleum indus
try, working hand in hand with
automobile designers to constantly
give the public better performing
cars.
"However, it's too much to expect
that these lubricants will continue
their protective factors indefinitely,
while constantly subjected to terrific
heat and contamination.
"That's why the wise, economical
motorist has the crankcase drained
Miracles are performed every day

"If you are statistically minded,"
he says, "it almost talcs your breath
away to contemplate the marvelous
goings-on under the hoods and bod
lee of the cars now so essential to our
daily life."
Unbelievable Action
It is explained by the Mobllgas
executive that while you have driven
your car fi.000 miles (average distance
and refilled every 1,000 miles, and driven from winter to spring) the
