Atomic science assisted in the development of Shell X-100 Multigrade Oil. Here is shown a test of the degree of protection these new oils will give against piston ring wear. A cylinder block is fitted over a clamp-held piston whose top ring has been rendered radioactive. From the degree of radioactivity in oil samples taken during the run, the amount of wear products deposited in the oil is determined. Modern methods of research and production, such as this, ensure that the new Shell X-100 Multigrade Oils provide the most effective lubrication and the most complete protection of any oil you have ever used in your car.
