Oil is the lifeblood of a vehicle. One of its. most important functions is to keep internal engine parts cooled and lubricated to minimize friction and wear. That's why it is so important to be sure that your vehicle receives an oil change in accordance with your owner's manual. No matter how often you change your oil, however, there's no escaping the fact that your engine's internal parts experience more wear during start-up than at any other time. This occurs after a vehicle has been stationary with its engine shut off for a time, and most of the oil has drained from vital engine parts down into the pan. With only a thin film of oil left to coat engine parts, potentially damaging metal-to*mietal con- tact occurs each time your start your vehicle, Over time, OR AUTO BODY ANNOUNCEMENT!

One way to safeguard against excessive engine wear is to make sure you use the right type of oil in your vehi- cle. This means following your vehicle manufacturer's oil recommendations and selecting a brand name you can trust. Another thing you can do to help protect yout engine from wear is to use an.engine treat- ment product, such as STP Engine Treatment with XEP:. Compatible with today's regu- lar and synthetic oils, STP Engine Treatment with XEP: chemically, bonds to internal metal-to-metal contact and help reduce friction and wear. It's specially formulated to provide protection at start-up, when your engine needs it most. Using engine treatment is easy. Simply substitute a quart of oil with a bottle of STP Engine Treatment with XEP, the next time you change your oil. Do this every 25,000 miles. In addition to following these basic procédures, keep a record of mileage and the amount of time between each oil change to ensure that oil changes occur with the right frequency. . Follow this advice and your vehicle can proyjdg you with trouble-free mot@ring for engine wear surfaces to lessen ™any miles to come. GENERAL MOTORS of CANADA and our ENVIRONMENT LEADER IN PAINT TECHNOLOGY Consistent with its aims of making the auto manu facturing process more compatible with the goals of a cleaner and healthier environment, GM of Canada introduced the world's first high volume production waterborne basecoat/clearcoat paint systems at its Oshawa Truck Assembly and Ste. Therese Car Assembly Plants in the late 1980s. Waterborne paints release far fewer emissions than lacquer-base paints. Employing water as the dispersing agent in the coloured paint results in a substantial reduction in volatile organic com- pound levels while maintaining quality levels expected by the consumer. All of the topcoat paints used in GM of Canada's car and truck assembly plants are lead-free and emissions for- merly caused by overspray have also been greatly reduced through electrostatic application of the clearcoat paints which provide depth and gloss. In this process, the vehicles are grounded to charge them negatively, thereby providing a conductive body. Since opposites attract, posi- tively charged paint is attracted directly the the negatively charged vehicles as they move through the paint shops.
