TESTS TAKEN ON PRICES' "C" OIL AND CASTROL OIL.

We attach herewith record of tests giving the comparison of the amperes taken to turn to a standard 40/50 engine using -
(a) Prices' "C" Oil and
(b) Castrol Oil.

From this it will be notedthat at the coldest condition for starting (34°F) considerably more power is taken to turn the engine at fewer revolutions with Castrol than with Prices' "C" oil, whereas, at the higher temperatures, not so much difference is to be noted.
