UPPER CYLINDER LUBRICATION.
In practically every car, new and old, tire is tendency for rapidly moving parts at the top of the cylinder to run rather too dry with the result that the cylinder wall becomes worn and scored;; rings work loose, and valves stems are apt to stick. An upper cylinder lubricant is necessary for perfect lubrication and Messrs. Wakefield, after exhaustive testa, hare produced Castrollo. This cil geta just: where you want the top and of the cylinders, piston rings, valves and valvo stems. Castrollo reduces the formation of carbon, since the walls of the combustion chamber are always covered with a film of oil while such carbon sa is deposited is. easier to remove.
