Is your motor expense
getting too high?
Offset higher costs of fuel and other supplies by
greater economies in operation. Obtain greater power
and mileage, lessen repairs, lower depreciation and get
longer car life.
The solution is accurate and efficient lubrication.
Three-fourths of the troubles that cut down power, boost
gas and oil consumption, run up repair bills and shorten
car life are caused by faulty lubrication using oils poor-fl-in
quality or wrong in type. U
SUNOCO Motor Oil makes accurate and efficient en
gine lubrication certain. Its high quality and scientific
accuracy are guaranteed by the Sun Company special
ists in lubrication one of the world's largest producers,
refiners and distributors of petroleum products.
SUNOCO, with its six distinct types, insures an oil
that will maintain a proper piston-ring seal in your en
gine. That means maximum power from every gallon
of gasoline no leakage of raw gas into the crank case.
SUNOCO, in addition, protects you against carbon
deposit the motorist's greatest enemy. That is because
SUNOCO is a wholly-distilled oil, absolutely free from
carbon-forming elements. "The Burning Test" proves it.
Prove for yourself the wonderful qualities and su
periority of SUNOCO. Have your crank case drained,
cleaned and filled with the right type for your engine, as
designated by the dealer's "Sunoco Lubrication Guide."
