The oil used must have cor- rect body and character to meet the design, construction and operating conditions of your engine with scientific exactness.
The oil in your engine must be kept in good condition. Precautions must be taken to maintain an adequate supply of the correct oil. Drain the oil from the crank case re- gularly and renew with fresh oil at regular intervals to prevent undue contamina- tion, which renders the oll unfit for efficient service.
