Show Conoco Unveils Hew Super Fofor Oil Product Continental Oil company recently re-cently revealed development of a new motor oil the result of eight years' laboratory research, two winters of testing in Montana Mon-tana and Colorado, and a 50,000 mile road test along the Mexican Mexi-can border, according1 to La-brum La-brum and Edwards, local distributors dis-tributors for Conoco. The new oil called . "Conoco Super motor oil" is now available avail-able to the Roosevelt public. "The remarkable performance of the oil under severe and exhaustive ex-haustive road testing, plus the fact that it has met every challenge chal-lenge of the laboratory for preventing pre-venting wear and keeping engines en-gines clean," said Labrum and Edwards, "convinces alj of us with Continental that this" new super motor oil is as nearly perfect as it is possible today to develop a lubricating oil." Each of six cars .and four trucks, during the 70-day road test along the Mexican border, covered more than 50,000-miles at an average speed of 60 miles an hour fer the cars, and 50 miles an hour for the trucks. The cars were run for 14 h.qurs each day, six days a week, in the sizzling South Texas heat that at times reached 110 de? grees in the shade. Eight hundred hun-dred miles per day were racked up on the speedometers of the test cars, and 690 miles a day on the trucks. At the end of the 50,000-mile run, equal to five years' mileage mil-eage for the average family car, engines of the cars showed no wear of any consequence. In fact, b y actual measurement with highly sensitive instruments, instru-ments, wear was an average of less than one one-thousandth of an ,irich on cylinders and crankshafts. ' Original factory machining marks were still visible vis-ible on piston rings. |
