X.1434. RE LUBRICATING OIL FOR CARS.

I am very pleased to hear that your experience so far follows my forecasts, that a good and expensive oil like Castrol for lubricating the car is a profitable proposition.
I would like to get it introduced and recommended, as quickly as we can with safety be sure there is no definite disadvantage in its use.
You will remember that I have always been very definitely against the use of pure mineral oil for proper lubrication.
