tiow black sediment formed by ordinary automobile oil in¬ 
creases friction, wear and expense. New lubricant resists heat, 
reduces sediment about and saves you over $50 a year. 
Notice the two test bottles. The upper bot¬ 
tle contains ordinary automobile oil drained from 
a crank case after 500 miles of use. The other 
bottle contains Veedol after the same mileage. 
In ordinary oil the sediment is seven times as 
deep as in Veedol; Veedol reduces sediment 86%. 
All ordinary oil breaks down under the ter¬ 
rific heat of an automobile engine which ranges 
from 200® to 1000®. After only a few hours run¬ 
ning a large volume of sediment is formed and 
much of the oil loses all lubricating value. 
Engineering tests show that on the average 
50% of ordinary oil is turned into sediment in 
a 10-hour test and the engine loses four to five 
horse-power. 
The Sediment Test is the most scientific test 
of a lubri cant’s value in reducing friction and is 
of the greatest importance to automobile owners. 
Friction increases in proportion to the amount 
of sediment present; sediment in large volume 
causes friction, wear and expense. 
The exact effect of sediment 
on metal surfaces 
If you look at the inner surfaces of your auto¬ 
mobile engine with your naked eye you will say 
that they are perfectly smooth, but if you ex¬ 
amine them under a microscope you will find they 
are actually covered with thousands of sharp 
points and depressions. It is these points and 
depressions that require efficient lubrication. 
These metal surfaces will slide easily against 
each other only when covered with a substantial 
film of liquid lubricant. 
Oil that contains sediment causes metal to 
metal friction because the sediment crowds out 
a large part of the liquid oil and the metal sur¬ 
faces are pressed together. Then the micro¬ 
scopic teeth grab and cut in. That means fric¬ 
tion, wear and expense. 
If you want to prevent friction and save ex¬ 
pense do not use oil that breaks doivn under 
heat and forms a large volume of sediment. 
The Faulkner Process 
Veedol is unlike oi’dinary oil. It is made by the 
Faulkner Process. This is a new discovery used 
exclusively by this company, which gives Veedol 
Its remarkable heat-resisting and wear-resisting 
properties. New equipment for this process cost 
us $300,000, and it will add $50,000 to our 1917 
manufacturing cost. Ordinary automobile oil 
cannot be made like Veedol and cannot have the 
same lubricating properties. 
Veedol resists heat, does not evaporate rapidly, 
does not carbonize if your motor is in good con¬ 
dition—and finally, reduces sedimentation 86%. 
60 cents to test Veedol will save 
you over $50 
Five gallons of Veedol will only cost you about 60 
cents more than five gallons of ordinary oil and with five 
gallons of Veedol you can drive 2,000 to 5,000 miles — 
possibly two or three times the mileage you get from 
ordinary oil. So you will have ample time to compare 
operating costs. 
Expert statisticians have found that the average 
automobile runs 6,000 miles a year and that the average 
yearly expense is $416. Of this, gasoline, repairs and 
depreciation come to about $268. 
Since friction and wear vary in direct proportion to 
the amount of sediment formed by the oil, the elimina¬ 
tion of 86^ of the sediment will save gasoline, repairs 
and depreciation. Thus Veedol will save you $50 to 
$115 a year. 
Among the users of Veedol are many large com¬ 
panies that keep a careful record of operating costs, 
such as the Hudson Motor Car Company, Fifth Avenue 
Coach Co., Shaw Taxicab Co., owners of the Black and 
White Taxicabs, and many others. 
The fact that these users pay more per gallon for 
Veedol, proves that they save money by using it. 
Make this road test 
Clean out the crank case of your engine. Fill it 
with kerosene. Run your motor about thirty seconds 
under its own power. Draw out all kerosene and refill 
with Veedol. 
Then make a test run over a familiar road, includ¬ 
ing steep hills and straight level stretches. 
You will find your motor has acquired new pick-up 
and hill-climbing ability. It will have less vibration 
and will give greater gasoline mileage. 
Veedol is the ideal lubricant for all gasoline engines 
— automobile, motorboat, tractor and stationary en¬ 
gines. One test will prove to you the efficiency of this 
wonderful heat-resisting lubricant.
