aA pure lubricating oil 



"Zerolene oils are pure. The Standard Oil Com- 

 pany has always considered the removal of all 

 detrimental properties and compounds as es- 

 sential in making Zerolene." 



— Board of Lubrication Engineers. 



Zerolene in a good truck or tractor keeps your work- 

 ing equipment on the job— hour by hour- day after 

 day —without a stop for the breakdowns of incorrect 

 lubrication. 



Because of its purity, Zerolene eliminates engine 

 trouble. It gives perfect lubrication, and when it 

 works into the combustion chamber, as any oil will 

 do, it burns clean. Zerolene deposits a minimum of 

 carbon, of a soft and flaky nature, most of which is 

 blown out harmlessly with the exhaust. 



Stability — Oiliness 



The ideal motor oil, besides having purity, must be 

 stable to resist engine heat. It must cling evenly to 

 bearing surfaces, and must also flow freely and per- 

 mit the development of maximum engine power and 

 speed. 



Zerolene is refined from crudes carefully selected 

 for stability and oiliness, and our exclusive high vac- 

 uum refining process retains these qualities in their 

 highest form. 



Consult the Zerolene Correct Lubrication Chart for 

 thecorrectgradefor your tractor, truck or automobile.
