CHEAP LUBRICANTS.
Thus the .Autocar, •on a trouble ao# ■wholly unknown in New, Zealand: — . i " We often wonder how many motorists are persuaded to purchase, lubricating oi& by the circulars which are so plentifully;, rained upon them by post. There may be.! exceptions, but, so far as we have noticed,]' the one recommendation of the lubricant**; appears to be their cheapness. - We musnj cay that, bo far as we are personally con-i cerned, we should not dream of using thescr cheap lubricants* in' an engine. They majs| be satisfactory, but it seems to us verjni foolish to experiment in this direction, ae»| after all, the mcst extravagant engine iaj lubricant does not take a great deal, and!/ for the sake of economising in this respect it seems to us absurd' to risk daniagingu the engim. Some people lielieve anything.? but we think they would be well advised}] to bear in mind" that very few motorist^ are qualified to distinguiah between a bad( "lubricant and a good one, and they snouW therefore, adhere to welj-known brandc which are made by firms of reputation."
