WHERE THE OIL IN

to Evaporation.

d.. Many motorists often stop 20 ponder
the question OF what becomes Of the
oil consumed BY the automobile engine.
Il 10 only recently that the engineers
have discovered. g.. ..
They have known that the average
motor car requires q quart OF oil for
every seventy-five to two hundred miles
depending upon the mechanical con-
diction OF the engine Many an engine,
however. seems never TO use any oil at
all. but actually to manufacture Il. A
long series Of laboratory experiments
were required 70 determine what
happens They were undertaken be-
cause the fabrication OF the automobile
Ia the most important point in its opera
ton.
The engineers found that the greatest
consumption of oil 10 due to evaporation.
Just as water in q teakettls goes off al
steam, 20 does oil when subjected to
the terrific heat OF the engine 90 off in
vapor. The heavier or moro highly re-
fined the oil the less 10 lost in this way
The answer lies not In the use OF heavy
oil, because this would cause great frie-
ton in the oil itself, but In changes IN
manufacturing processes which are neo-
essary to reduce evaporation
The second great loss II dua TO oil

and which prevents the remaining good
