FIVE OIL MISTAKE' How to stop-maintenance pounds from blowing'through the exhaust MOTORISTS are looking for scientific ways to reduce upkeep. Old mistakes—always costiy— to-day positively extravagant—must go. Here are five common lubrication errors. They are responsible for many of the operating troubles that motorists experience. MISTAKE No. 1 Some motorists believe tbtt if the oil reservoir is filled above tbe radicated high level, __ better lubrication will be provided. They are mistaken. Oil should be kept at the proper (%rA level—no higher. Over-filling causes excessive carbon, gammed volva status ead sooty ' *&A spark-plugs. IpSr ; MISTAKE No. 2 "/ we heavier oil because my engine a badly itorn." Many motorists, believe that a change to heavier oil is advisable in a worn engine. rThis is not so. Worn engines need overhauling. Heavier oil is no substitute for worn parts. The lubrication system of a car may be wholly unsuited to properly distribute a heavier oil than specified in our Chart of Recommendations. . MISTAKE No. 3 " Old'oil neoer does any harm in the aank-cate." m£Zv\ Some motorists neglect to' dr in the old oil from the crank-cases of their engines at RVmI'V frequent intervals. The correct oil is not destroyed in use. But it does become contamineted with grit drawn in through the breather, with carbon partioles from the undersides of the pistons and with water condensation. It also becomes thinned out with fuel absorbed by the oil film on the cylinder walls, especially when the mixture is too rioh. For these reasons old oil should be drained from the crank-case frequently. MISTAKE No. 4 " When refilling I always clean out my engine crank-case with kerosene." i This prooedure sounds logical—hence has come into common use. Experience ' thows, however, that it is almost always a mistake, for some of the kerosene is usually retained' in the splash troughs or other oil pockets in most erank-cases and thus thins out the new oil. The better plan is tq drain the crank-case when the engine is hot. This will carry off.the sediment before it settles. Then flush out with a quart of fresh oil and refill '/ to the correct level. v // MISTAKE No. 5 % \ "My oil seems to work oil right." This, perhaps, is the grandfather of ell lubrication mistakes, "My oil seems to vrork all right" sends more cars to the repair shop than all other caases combined. The motorist cannot watch from day to day the inside of his engine. Henee he is in no position to know accurately the effects of different oils. While many oils may " seem v to work all right," only one of those oils may be giving him scientific lubrication. .And , \ only that one csa give him—the lowest fuel bills, the lowest oil bills ted the lowest repair '■» bi,,s • 1 The Chart of Recommendations specifies the grade of Gargoyle Mobiloils which is scientifically correct for your car.
