USE YOUR CARD SMALL CARS Easy on gas, tough on oil Cruising In roomy. gas- guzzling cars has become the pastime of a bygone era. Studies indicate that, by 1990, 80 per cent of the cars on the road will be compacts or sub-compacts. Even though these four- and six-cylinder engines go easier on gas, they're a lot tougher on motor oil. That’s because smaller engines rev at least 5O per cent higher and work harder than V-&s. Furthermore, in smaller engines, ot! can travel at about twice the flow rate it does in the biyp V-8s. And since smaller engines can cir- culate oil twice as fast, they can break down an oil’s Viscosity twice as fast. In fact, independent tests prove that a smaller engine can break down an_ oil's viscosity. within 1,500 miles. Once that happens, the o1l may no longer protect your car properly ARE OILS CREATED EQUAL?
