ting oils refined from this crude
oil are recognized as the highest
standard that can be made.
“The viscosity of an oil is the
real test of its lubricating effi
ciency. In plain terms, viscosity is
the quality in an oil which keeps
it on the job preventing friction
after the motor has reached ef
ficient operating temperature.
"The viscosities for most oils are
determined at 100 degrees tempera
ture. This, however, is not a pro
per test, for any oil can be built
up to a high visoosity at 100 de
grees, but in the heat of a run
ning motor it may break down
rapidly. All motor oils should be
tested at 210 degrees which as
you know is just below 1 the boil-
ing point and recognized I as the
most efficient temperature for mo-
tor operation.
“Parabase motor oil is 100 per
cent paraffin base oil. It is not
a blended oil as so many of the
so-called eastern oils are, but is
refined directly from paraffin base
crude.
“The viscosity of parabase motor
oil is about 30 per cent higher at
210 degrees than other oils shown
in the statistics of the association.
“Remember you get this increas
ed efficiency in parabase motor
oil at no additional cost. We know
