[Handwritten]: X.435

Packard. Tested on dynamometer.

Distance run - 10 miles.
Power at 1500 r.p.m. - Very good.
Power at 2000 r.p.m. - Very good.
Exhaust - Very clean.
Engine - Very "free".
Lack of carbon deposit - Very good.

This oil shows very well from test but has not [handwritten insertion: enough] body and is not sufficiently viscous to be satisfactory in the long run. The consumption would probably be great as it appears to be very volatile.
