the valuable work that has been
done in the past to prevent the

THIN OIL BEST FOR
ENGINE LUBRICATION

How the adoption of crankcasG
ventilators, originally intended sole
ly to prevent thinning out of heavy
crankcase oil. resulted in the dis
cOvery that thin oils are the best fol
engine fabrication. and how this dis
cOvery has reduced cold weather
starting troubles, were related by J.
M. Crawford, chief engineer of Chew
rOlet Motor Co., TO a recent gather
ing of the company's field service
supervisors at Detroit.
The heavier grades formerly were
used because it was mistakenly be-
lieved that extra viscosity was re-
quired to make oils "stand up" and
also because crankcase oil usually
became thin with use, through crank
case dilutiOn. The adoption of eff
ficient crankcase ventilatOrs pre-
vented the dilution of the oil, and
then it was found that the popular
heavy grades were not so effective as
thinner oils. Research developed
the new light W-grades, tests proved
their superiority for use in modern
closly-fitted high-speed engines.
Every make of engine. Mr.. Craw-
ford pointed out, should be operated
only with those oils recommend by
the car manufacturer. During the
winter. the drivers selection of the
grade of oil should be based on ease
of starting; that is, he should select
a grade that will permit easy start
ing at the lowest temperature ex-
pected during the period the oil is to
be used.
The use of 20-W and low oil in
the winter has virtually ended hard
starting in cold weather, because
they remain free-fOwing, and per-
nit the starter to turn over the en-
gine at good cranking speed. Having
thus saved the motorists temper, the
light oil saves the motor bearings,
for it begins to flow Immediately.

If sOlidified oil let the pistOns and
