X100 spring cleans your engine

MOTOR OIL

SHELL X-100 Motor Oil is more than a lubricant. It contains additives-substances which enable it to wash away carbon and other harmful deposits from working parts, transforming them into minute particles

that cannot cause wear or clog oilways. If you want to derive the full benefits from using SHELL X-100, do not mix it with other oils. A clean engine cannot fail to perform better and have longer life,

{SHELL)

SHELL X-100 will mix with any mineral oil which is al- ready in the sump, but to get the best and quickest results DRAIN, FLUSH, AND REFILL WITH SHELL X-100 To top up a sump of ordinary oil with a pint or so of SHELL X-100, and expect it to give a clean engine, is like trying to wash a floor with a cupful of water,

AS YOU DRAIN, the sump is emptied of dirty oil- Carrying away with it much of the sludge, But a certain amount of spent oil and deposit will remain. AS YOU FLUSH, this residue of old ol is washed

doesn't mean that your engine is clean---yet.

WHEN YOU REFILL with SHELL X-100, the deansing and dispersing additives come into action. 5ooty and gummy deposits on pistons and other moving parts are washed away: ollways are cleared. After that, SHELL X-100 will go on dealing with Bach substances as they form.
