stability to insure that the viscosity remains with-
in recommended limits. Viscosity Index should not
be less than 90.
3. Have a pour point of 20F. (11C.) below start-up

There are literally hundreds of commercial brands of oil marketed today. Obviously, it is not physically
possible or practical to test and evaluate each one of these brands of oil. Satisfactory OIL, QUALITY is
the responsibility of the oil supplier, therefore, the selection of a suitable lubricant should be made in con-
