Motorists who seldom think of what happens in the Inner work ings of their csrs will be amazed to learn that, when they drive, tne rear gears are actually subjected to enor mous pressure of 71,900 to 109,300 pounds per squsre Inch. It's Just as though each gear tooth were pushing the weight of a loco motive, automotive englneera say. Another startler, revealed by engi neers. Is that the pinion gear actually "slides" along the ring gear at speeds varying from H.7 to 38.78 feet per fiecond. "Realizing the heavy weight and rapid speeds to which these vital parts are subjected. It's no wonder many motorists think something may break when they step on the gas, especially on cold winter daya," declares Albert B. Horn, Jr., northwest general man ager of General Petroleum. "However, we have nothing to fear If the gears are cushioned with spe cial winter lubricant. This lubricant stands the speed and pressure, func tioning freely when the weather gets down to freezing or zero. "To avoid trouble gear cases should bo Inspected now." WARNING!

Thousands of times this winter. when a u tos are started on cold nights or mornings, motorists will entertain such a fear. Judging from statements they made to service station atten dants. This fear, the attendants say. grows from the thought that transmission oil will be so congealed as to cause great difficulty In the shifting of gears. "To overcome this difficulty," they declare, 'JMobll engineers have produced a winter transmission lubri cant that works like greased light ning, no matter how cold the day. It's one of the many achievements offered through winterproof service to set motorists' minds at rest. Trans mission oil should be Inspected be fore winter seta In.

IS PREVENTED BY WINTER OIL USE "When I step on the starter one of these cold mornings will I burn out a bearing or score a cylinder because the congealed oil won't travel through the mstor fast enough?" This Is the harrowing thought that haunts many car owners when Win ter suddenly clamps down, accord ing to those, who have studied reac tions of thoughtful motorists. At least that's the way a communica tion from the engineering staff of General Petroleum puts It. Such fears may be discarded, the communication reveals, when the crankcase holds an oil specially cre ated for Winter use. Even at zero, such a lubricant will flow 33 times faster than ordinary oil, It Is said. "When starling At zero, a special Winter oil such as our Moblloll Arc tic will travel to vital motor parts In the volume of 10 ounces, per min ute, but the ordinary oil, not de signed for cold weather, flows only three-tenths of an ounce per min ute. says Grant Bean, agent here. "When motor temperature reaches 40 decrees, three quarts of the spe cial Winter oil are In use per min ute as compared with only 10 ounces of the ordinary oil.

KEN G LA & LIGGETT General Petroleum Station Pth and South Riverside ' .11 0!fI wouldn't remember all these places has been one of the motorists' wor ries In the past. Confronted by this problem, ex perts have originated a new-type chart called the "X-Ray" which la now attracting the attention of many Interested car owners to Mobllgas sta tions. Every moving part of every make and model of automobile, and the lubrication spot, is shown on the In genious contrivance. Most Auto Wear Occurs in First Turns of Engine Most automobile motor wear occurs in the first few seconds after a car is started, according to statements of mechanics. 'If the weather is cold and the oil is viscous and thick." says Don Dawson, assistant general sales man ager for the Moblloll marketers, "the pump will not deliver sufficient vol ume to bearings, gears and cylinder surfaces to properly protect them. "That's why oil must be of the weight and consistency fitted to the season of the year. That's why heavy summer oil must be drained from the crankcase and replaced with winter oil. "If the gauge on your dash shows a heavy pressure it Indicates there is a strong resistance to oil flow. You cannot have much resistance to oil In colder weather or you'll pay dearly for It. "For winter we must use extreme caution In automobile lubrication, which has now been reduced to & science. The only way to play safe Is to hare everything Inspected."

OF EXPERIENCE SEEN There are M.oor) yeors of lubrica tion experience, behind the Winter proof plan. But the automobile is only 61 years old. The question is: "How come?" v Now comes Ted Snyder, representa tive of General Petrcleum. to explain what seems to have been a puzzler to a good many motorists by declar ing that "based cn an average of 20 years to a man. the engineering staff which originated Wlnterprooflng ac tually does represent a combined ex perience of 14,000 years." "This Socony-Vacuum engineering staff with which we of General Pe troleum are affiliated." he contin ued. "Is the largest of Its kind in the world. This staff knows 'what Is what when it comes to automotive mechanics and correct lubrication. "It will no doubt Inspire, conli dence In the minds of motorists to know that our field engineers aro constantly chcrking their experiences with our engine-bulming department, and this department is constantly working In collaboration with the motor, bearing - and - gear - building plants of all the leading car and ma chinery mamiracturers.
