I'm glad to hear that Sinclair Oil cares about me enough to supplement my heavy metal exposure! :-) The advertisement in the question includes "Liquid Nickel in Sinclair Gasolines..." rather than motor oil, and shows drawings of gasoline pumps with "Nickel" written on them. I would not be surprised if they moved their "liquid nickel" concept from gasoline to oil at some point, but did you happen to come across any information on a gasoline additive? | |
