FOOLISH IDEA.
OIL LEVEL, BOGEY. Quality Most Essential. Many motorists regard lubrication simply as an irksome duty which is one 1 of the penalties of owning a car. Even experienced owners often fail ■to realise how much depends upon lubrication, and imagine that provided they maintain the right level in the sump there is nothing more to worry about.
Nothing could be further from the truth. No motorist would deliberately leave dirty petrol in his tank, or even dirty water in his radiator, and yet it is safe to say that a great many motorists disregard the condition of the oil which is constantly circulating in their engine. The conditions under which motor oil has to work are becoming more severe every year, as engines increase in compression, speed and power. Motorists are learning, however, that with modern engines the fewshillings which it costs to maintain the oil in clean and fresh condition will save them as many pounds in depreciation and repair.
