Do you own one of these
valuable cars?
Take this precaution now to keep it 'lively'

Ask yourself this. How much is your car worth today-bow much will it be worth in 3 or 4 years' time? Will it depreciate quickly- or can you prolong its life' and value?
How your car foses value Your car is only as good as its engine. Good looks are worthless unless accompanied by good engine performance. Engine wear is the enemy. When your car loses 'pep" when she flags on hills-becomes floppy-unresponsive-these are the warning signs. She's getting old before her time. Losing value. Moncy. Unfortunately engine wear is like tooth decay-you don't know it's happening until it's happened. So what can you do? You can take one simple precaution
Shell X-100 reduces oxidation, discourages the formation of dan gerous deposits and combats CORROSIVE ACID WEAR.
What would you do Suppose you were a car manu- facturer. Suppose you made the Humber or the Hillman. You know you have a fine car. You want to prove it to the world. You send it a gruelling trip, across con- lients, mountains, ice, snow, deserts. You must put up a sen- sational performance. You must not fail. Which oil would you choose for your car?

They Chose Shell X-100
If your judgment were as sound as Humber, Jaguar, Austin, Hillman,
-but first, let's look at the cause of
wear.
What causes engine waar P To some extent-friction. That is, metal rubbing on metal. Now, all good oils give protection against friction but engines still wear out. Shell experts wanted to know why -they looked for other causes. After years of patient research, they found that most wear in engines is caused by acid action-or corrusive wear. This occurs when moisture in your engine combines with combustion gases to form acids. These acids cat-yes, out-into the metal surfaces when the engine is running cold on short journeys, when your car is at rest between runs, or overnight in your garage. As an engine cools, ordinary oils

Whether it was to race through 15 countries 'in 90 hours; hurtle round a race track for seven days and nights at over 100 m.p.h.; to win the Monte Carlo Rally or to speed to the Cape--they relied upon Shell X-100 Motor Oil.
