Summary

NoS Summary - testing new lubrication oils
BP synopsis: A test car is being used at an oil research station. We see dials, tracking shots of the car, and stop watch tests. When the car gets back the condition of the oil is checked at various stages. They then strip the engine, and test it for wear. This intensive process is so that the normal motorist can have good motor oil.
