Car Company There are several points in preparing an automobile for the long grind of day after day touring under every kind of road conditoin that should not be overlooked when a motor is torn down for overhauling. These include piston slaps and an inspection of parts such as oil lines to see that no cracks have developed during part . usage and that they are perfectly Forerunner of Conditions in clean.

Merchants who have been most Most all motor companies recommend heartily in favor of restricted parkthat the oil be drained out of the crank- ing, claiming that cars parked in front case at periods varying from 400 to 1,000 miles. Our recommendation is that the mileage must not exceed 500 before changing the oil. Some carl <>wners appear to believe that this recommendation is an effort by the oil companies to sell oil. This most certainly is not the case. With present day fuels, crankcase dilution i.s getting to be more and more common as a factor in engine wear. It is real economy to drain out the oil which has been contaminated in the crankcase. In purchasing oil, do not buy one just because it is cheap. It pays to use the very best lubricating oil possible. The grade recommended by the manufacturer of your car should be used if possible. The lubricant may be likened to a medicine. You would not think of buying a particular medicine in preference tu one that had beCQ recommended by your doctor just because it was cheaper.
