Lubricating Systems
It is not generally known that the lubricating system
of all makes of Automotive Engines determine the type
of lubricant to be used. Anyone who has ever driven a
car knows there is such a thing as a crank case which
from time to time needs oil, but how that oil is used or
what it does in the crank case is a mystery to very many.
The lubricating system is worked out by the designer
to conform with the needs of the motor, according to
stroke, bore and other determining factors which cannot
be treated with here at length, so it must suffice to men
tion that there are many designs, but all worked out on
approved engineering principles adopted from Stationary
and Steam Engine lubrication, these being the Full Force
Feed, Force Feed, Force Feed and Splash and" Splash cir
culating, the last named being the system used in the re
liable Ford engine.
Each one of these systems needs lubrication more
than oil, so we would be glad to enlighten you on the .
needs of your motor and help you to obtain utmost effi
ciency for every penny you spend with us.
Service Counts.
