Oil Viscosity as a Factor in Cold Starting

Abstract

ONE WINTER MORNING, many years ago, we observed with interest a road tank wagon belonging to one of the large oil companies being towed round a piece of waste land by a stable companion, in an endeavour to bring its reluctant engine to life. The vehicle with the dead engine bore a slogan in large letters which read : “Use Pratts for Easy Starting”.
