(See crude oil prices in any petroleum journal.) Both of these splendid motor oils undergo a special treatment in the Sinclair refineries. Sinclair Opaline and Sinclair Pennsylvania are not only de-waxed— they arc also freed from heavy, sluggish, non-lubri cating petroleum jelly at as low as 60° F. below zero. Containing no petroleum jelly, the lubricating body of Sinclair Motor Oils is absolutely genuine and will not thin out in engine heat. Experience will tell you quickly why Sinclair Opa line and Sinclair Pennsylvania are the finest in their respective classes. Note how tiiese oils stand up in hard, fast driving. Note especially at draining time how little oil has been used up—positive, visible proof of protection for the last mile as well as the first! the effort.
