a Ford In design, construction, operation, and lubrication, the Ford is unique. The engine oil must adequately and efficiently lubricate both transmission and multiple disc clutch. In Ford engine lubrication the following points must be considered: (1) —The Ford connecting rod bearingshave no oil holes or oil grooves, nor are the lower ends of the connecting rods equipped with oil dippe'/ior splashers. Hence the need for oil which atomizes readily and distributes freely throughout the entire bearing area. C?)-The Ford pistons over-run the valve seat level. Any excess of oil carried up by the 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. W-The Ford Planetary transmission operates in a bath of engine oil. The close- . fitting sleeves and bushings demand a free-nowing oil of correct body to insure , thorough distribution to these parts. (O-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 r 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 w ith tne 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, wnol grease or otner animal fats which decompose under heat, is obviously wrong and likely to cause gumming of the valve Stems, carbon d e posit an d other t rou bles. 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. To minimize carbon deposits under these conditions, your engine requires a well refined, clean burning oil which will be thoroughly distributed by the fabricating system. For all Buick models (except 1923) use Gargoyle Mobiloil Arctic both summer and winter. The 1923 Buick engine differs from previous models, in so far as lubrication is con-

cerned. The 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 spl.sh to the cylinders in excess quantities or reach the combustion chambers too freely. The two center crankshaft bearings are supplied with oil under pressure. lhese changes in the 1923 Buick construction permit the use in summer of an oil heavier in body and richer in character than heretofore without the possibility of objectionable carbon accumulations. Hence, for the 1923 Buick, Gargoyle Mobiloil “A” in summer and Gargoyle Mobiloil Arctic in winter will insure correct lubrication.

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 groiave and oil drain holes which allow excess quantities of oil on the cylinder walls to drain back into the crankcase reservoir. The Studebaker lubricating system is of the splash circulating type, employing a gear type oil pump located on the outside of the crank-case and considerably above the oil level. The lubrication of the cylinder walls, the pistons, piston rings, and piston pin bearings depends upon an oil mist. This mist is

a Chevrolet 490 Your Chevrolet 490 engine is of valve-in-head construction and designed for high compression pressures of approximately 87 pounds. The lubricating system is of the splash circulating type. The gear type oil pump is in an exposed position directly in back of the radiator, and is considerably above the level of the oil in the reservoir. There are long lengths of exposed oil piping on both the suction and discharge sides of the pump. All engine parts except the centre crank-

created by splashers fitted on the lower side of the connecting rod bearings dipping into oil in troughs located under each cylinder bore. A suitable lubricant for these engines must be of such body and character as to meet the operating temperature and distribution requirements. Gargoyle Mobiloil “A” will provide adequate engine lubrication and thorough distribution during summer; its use is therefore recommended. Because of the well-finished cylinder bores, close-fitting pistons and the adeouate drainage of these pistons, Gargoyle Mobiloil “A” will not form objectionable carbon deposits and a thorough and efficient sealing of the piston rings will be assured.

shaft bearing are lubricated by an oil mist caused by the dipping of the connecting rod splashers in the oil troughs provided under each cylinder. Oil is forced under pressure to the centre crankshaft bearing. Carbon deposits in this engine, because of the high compression pressures and combustion chamber construction, are particularly objectionable. Correct lubrication is essential to the maintenance of high efficiency. Gargoyle Mobiloil Arctic w ill leave a minimum of carbon deposits, and is of the correct body and character to provide adequate engine lubrication under all operating conditions. The use of Gargoyle Mobiloil Arctic both summer and winter w ill assure correct engine lubrication and lead to the satisfactory performance you have a right to expect cf your Chevrolet.

Under winter operation, it is imperative that the oil used be of the proper fluidity to provide a positive priming of the elevated oil pump. Otherwise, failure of the pump to deliver oil to the engine will result. Gargoyle Mobiloil Arctic is of the proper body to assure positive priming of the Studebaker pump under w inter operation. Because of its character and fluidity, it will atomize readily and thoroughly, thus providing proper distribution to all engine parts, even when freezing temperatures are experienced. Gargoyle Mobiloil “A” and Gargoyle . Mobiloil Arctic respectively are best suited to the summer and winter lubrication requirements of these engines. 3 heir use w ill insure maximum.engine performance with a minimum of wear and depreciation.

a Dodge Your Dodge engine is of the four-cylinder, vertical, L-head type, bore stroke 4Ja". 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 tow ard 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 w ith 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” of a richer lubricating character than Gaigovle Mobiloil Arctic, can be used in these engines to advantage during summer. This change in piston design counteracts the conditions which in the previous models made the engine sensitive to carbon formation. During summer Gargoyle Mobiloil “A” should be used in the 1923 models; in all earlier models. Gargoyle Mobiloil Arctic should be used. During 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 frequent intervals. Careful car operators, taxicab companies and owners of motor trtick fleets male it 3 practice to see that the oil is at the proper level every morning before the car goes out. V ith a five gallon can or fifteen or thirty gallon drum of the 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 every one thousand miles tn summer and every five hundred miles in winter. When draining the oil, the removable screen sis your car has one) should also be cleaned. Draw off the old oil when rhe engine is warm, as the oil then flows more freely and tends to wash out anv foreign matter. (Never flush the crankcase with kerosene.) I hen refill with correct grade of Gargoyle Mobiloil. If your car has not been mentioned here, see our complete Chart of automobile recommendations.
