increases CORROSION
Business calls may be part of your livelihood, but they're a menace to engine life. As the engine cools, acids and moisture produced by combustion are allowed to condense on the cylinder walls and corrode them. Research has proved that CORROSION is the major cause of engine wear.
Special properties of Shell X-100 Motor Oil enable it to neutralise combustion acids and make it cling, forming a protective film over engine working parts.
