UNIFORMS . The Oil On the Chart The Oil In the Can Before the oil to be recommended on the Polarine Lu- brication Chart for any particular car is decided, tests of an exhaustive nature are made to determine the grade which will lubricate the car best and at the least cost; the exact formula, or manufacturing specifications, for each, having been previously written out after careful laboratory tests and comparisons. The Chart is a true guide to correct lubrication. You will find in every container bearing the name Polarine and a grade name or symbol, an oil of exactly the same grade and character as the oil recommended on the Polarine Lubrication Chart because it is made in the same way and with the same characteristics as the oil on the Chart. It makes no difference where you buy Polarine, whether in bulk or in sealed cans, its quality is always the same. Careless oil buying accepting unknown oils of doubtful character and quality or even good oils of the wrong grade is a dangerous and expensive habit. You can not improve upon the practice of consulting and being guided by the Polarine Lubrication Chart.
