How to tell for sure—wkat oil your car needs To the Man who towns ~ _

a Ford In design, construction, opet; tion, and lUDti- I cation, the Ford is unique. The engine oil i must adequately and efficiently lubricate both transmission and multi; le disc clutch. In Ford engine lubrication the following points must be considered: (1) —The Ford connecting rod bearings have no oil holes or oil grooves, nor are the lower ends of the connecting rods equipped with oil dippers or splashers. Hence the need for oil which atomizes readily and distributes freely throughout the entire bearing area. (2) —The Ford pistons over-run the valve seat level. Any excess of oil carried up by thi pistons readily finds its way onto the valves and seats. Hence the need of a clean-burning and non-carbon forming lubricant. Otherwise gumming of the valves results. (3) —The Ford Planetary transmission operates in a bath of engine oil. Fhe closefitting sleeves and bushings demand a free-flowing oil of correct body to insure thorough distribution to these parts. (4) —The Ford multiple dis* clutch operates continually in a bath of engine oil. A free-flowing oil of the correct body and character is necessary to assure positive, quick engagement with no slipping and an instantaneous release of the clutch without dragging. (5) — Chattering of Ford transmission bands comes from incorrectly adjusted bands or worn out linings, and is aggravated by unburned fuel mixed with the lubricating oil. In such cases the diluted oil should be replaced with fresh oil and the bands correctly adjusted or the linings renewed. To attempt to remedy | such mechanical conditions by the use < of so-called “anti-chattering” oils containing foreign material which may separate, or lard oil, wool grease or Other animal fats which decompose under heat, is obviously wrong and likely to cause gumnring of the valve stems, carbon deposit and other troubles. Gargoyle Mobiloil “E” is free from foreign material or animal fats. It is of the correct body, character and fluidity and especially manufactured to scientifically meet the exacting requirements of Ford cars both summer and winter. a Buick Your Buick engine, because of its large reserve horse-power and efficient cooling system, operates at comparatively low temperatures. With Buick valve-in-head construction the cooling area of the combustion chambers is relatively small. This, together with compression pressure of 75 lbs. makes this engine sensitive to any appreciable carbon deposits, particularly in view of the present day fuels. Where excessive carbon deposits exist,“pinging” or knocking results. 1 o minimize carbon deposits under these conditions, your engine requires a well refined, clean burning oil which will be thoroughly distributed by the lubricating system. For all Buick models (except 1923) use Gargoyle Mobiloil Arctic both summer and wizter. The 1923 Buick engine differs from pre-

cerned. lhe splash troughs are covered,* leaving a slot through which the splash dipper passes to project the lubricant. This baffled splash trough‘design appreciably reduces the quantity of oil distributed so that the lubricating oil will not splash to the cylinders in excess quantities or reach the combustion chambers too freely. The two center crankshaft bearings are supplied with oil under pressure. 1 hese changes in the 1923 Buick construction permit the use in summer of an oil heavier in body and richer in character than 1 heretofore without the possibility of objec- 1 tionable carbon at cumulations. Hence, for the 1923 Buick, Gargoyle Mobiloil “A” in summer and Gargoyle Mobiloil Arctic in winter will insure correct lubrication.

a Studebaker (Big Six —Special Six Light Six Models)

Studebaker engines are of the six-cylinder, four-stroke, cycle, vertical type. The cylinder head is detachable and the valve arrangement is of the L-head type. Studebaker pistons are equipped with a special oil-return groove and oil drain holes which allow excess quantities of oil on the cylinder walls to dram back into the crankcase reservoir. The Studebaker lubricating system is the splash circulating type, employing i gear type oil pump located on the outside the crank-case and considerably ab' ’I • oil level.

a Dodge Your Dodge engine is of the four-cylinder, vertical. L-head type, bore It is equipped with a splash circulating system of lubrication employing a vane pump located above the oil level. Oil distribution is effected by dippers on the lower ends of the connecting rods. 1 hese dip into the oil in the splash troughs and project it to all friction surfaces within the engine. Small holes above the dippers are provided to convey the oil into the crank pin bearings. On all Dodge engines, prior to 1923, cast iron pistons were used. Because of the present day fuels, comparatively small carbon deposits in these engines quickly result in “pinging” or knocking. It is of utmost importance, therefore, that a clean burning oil be used in these engines, under all operating conditions in order to eliminate the tendency toward excessive carbon accumulations. Gargoyle Mobiloil Arctic meets these requirements as this oil is of sufficient body to assure thorough engine lubrication and is of such character as to burn with a minimum of carbon deposits. The 1923 Dodge engine uses a special type of constant clearance, aluminum alloy piston. The chief factor for consideration from a lubrication standpoint is, that they result in much lower piston head temperatures, thus minimizing carbon formations and in turn, the knocking or “pinging,” tendency of an engine. For this reason, Gargoyle Mobiloil “A” > f a richer lubricating character than Gargoyle Mobiloil Arctic, can be used in these engines to advantage during summer. This , uange in piston design counteracts the con-(L-l-ns which in the previous models made ;‘. c «ngine sensitive to carbon formation. 'Ju~tng mmer Gargoyle Mobiloil “A” .hould be ...sed in the 1923 models; in all earlier models, Gargoyle Mobiloil Arctic should be used. Dwin;’ winter, because of the elevated exposed location of the oil pump, it is necessary to use an oil of the proper fluidity, to provide positive pump priming. Gargoyle Mobiloil Arctic should be used during winter in all models. TO OWNERS OF ALL CARS It is far more beneficial to the engine if you add a small quantity of oil every day rather than larger quantities at less fiequenr intervals. Careful car operators, taxicab companies, and owners of motor truck fleets make it a practice to see that the oil is at the proper level every morning before the car goes out. With a five gallon can or fifteen or thirty gallon drum of rhe correct grade of Gargoyle Mobiloil on hand, you will always be ready to give your car this valuable attention. The crank-case should be entirely drained of oil at least everv one thousand miles in summer and every five hundred miles in winter. When draining the oil, the removable screen (if your car has one) should also be cleaned. Draw off the old oil when the engine is warm, as the oil then flows more freely and tends to wash out any foreign matter. (Never flush the crankcase with kerosene.) Then refill with correct grade of Gargoyle Mobiloil. If your car has not been mentioned here, see our complete Chart of automobile recommendations.
