A LUBRICATION TRIUMPH.
The noteworthy achievement of Mr. Norman Smith in breaking the Auck-land-Wellington record in an Essex by ono hour thirteen minutes represents from the lubrication standpoint another Wakefield C*asti»l victory. Asked for his opinion, Mr. Smith said “No ono could say anything too good about Wakefield Castrol. It is beyond doubt a remarkable motor oil. Only those who made the trip could appreciate what was gone through or what the engine had to stand up to. Every condition was against us. Vie had to go down in low gear quite a lot and the number of engine revolutions was very great. When wo got off the road past Hawera the car was battling against a head wind. 'J he engine was only doing about 63, but as soon as we turned in the’ right direction she lumped to 88. I hat, would indicate the very hard work imposed on the engine and the oil. Yet so faithfully did Wakefield Castrol perform its work that hot only was the engine properly lubricated throughout the trying trip, but as we ran into Wellington the engine was purring like a kitten! 1 ’ —(Published by arrangement.)
