High quality alone does not make an oil right. It must be of the type (viscosity) to exactly fit your lubrication system, engine speed, piston-ring clearance and other factors. For years, three type4: i most four were thought suffi cient for all cars. The falkcy of this was proved by investiga tions showing that fully 75 per cent of all engine repairs were due to faulty lubrication the use of wrong oils. Engineers of the Sun Company spent years in studies and tests of the vajious designs of engines.
