Petrol Economy How it is affected by correct or incorrect body in lubricating oil Have you noticed this: Excessive consumption of lubricating oil is usually accompanied by excessive petrol consumption. The drawings below indicate how this waste occurs. In each cylinder the space between the piston itself and the cylinder walls is usually termed the piston clearance. Each piston is fitted with.? • A "**'' a number of rings which f H, are free to expand and ™ contract and are designed to fill this clearance. If the body of your lubricating oil fails to seal the piston rings two thingg happen: First: The . oil rapidly works up past the piston rings ; i a into the combustion chamber. JHj There it is burned with each explosion. Oil is ' used up rapidly. Excess carbon deposit results. Second: With a poor piston ring seal, the gas mixture works down past the piston rings on each compression stroke. Gas goes to waste. On the power stroke the exploding fuel charge also works down past the piston rings. Petrol again wastes. Power is lost. Gas consumption mounts up. Petrol economy and full power both demand oil which correctly seals the piston rings in your motor. The design and composition of the pistons, the piston clearance and the number, construction and fit df the piston rings, as well as the type of lubricating system employed, vary in different cars. Different cars, therefore, demand oils of different body. In the Lubrication Chart below, which represent^ our professional advice, you will find specified the correct grade of Gargoyle MobilB oils for your car—the oil which ex ' assures a proper piston line m - . , seal. In use you will find that this oil will maintain full compression and prevent the escape of the expanding gases on the power stroke, thus assuring— Petrol Economy. ||l Power Economy.
