Engineers Give Answer to
Problem of Texas Weather
Faced with the ups and downs
of Texas weather, engineers
have produced a new motor
oil that stays thin for easy
flowing in cold weather, yet
■taps full-bodied and tough on,
hot day*. The new product,
Humble Esso Extra Motor
has the highest resistance
totemperature changes of
any motor oil in Texas, or any-
where else, according to Hum-
ble Company technicians. The
technical name for this quality
is high viscosity index; Hum-
ble scientists add that high
viscosity index is a good guide
to high motor oil quality.
Humble station salesmen are
urging customers to drain
dirty, diluted oil and refill
with new Esso Extra Motor
Oil for extra protection. Adv.
