Out of them comes the rich Cambro-Ordovician crude oil which is refined and blended into Sinclair Opaline Motor Oil—-crude oil which had already mellowed for mil lions of years when dinosaurs lumbered their clumsy way above its hidden reservoirs. * Being the oldest of the Mid-continent crude oils, Cambro-Ordovician crude has had the full benefit of Nature’s age-long mellowing and filtering process. Together with the other crudes with which it is blended,' it averages more than 80 million years of Nature’s priceless treatment.

Have the nearest Sinclair dealer change your oil to Sinclair Opaline according to the Sinclair Law of Lubrication Index. Notice how quietly your engine runs. Then, at the next draining period examine the used Opaline. Observe how it still holds its rich lubricating body—how little oil has been used up!
