pettoIeum and its residue (mazut). There are several grades of Avtol which are the
basic lubricants for automobile and tractor engines. The choice of which grade of
Agtol to be used is dependent upon the purpose for which the particular engine has
been designed and the character of the work to be performed.
The grades of lubricants and the purposes for which they are used are:
