Petrox- A Miracle of Petroleum
Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
This promotional film highlights the benefits of Texaco’s "Sky Chief" gasoline, specifically focusing on the revolutionary "Petrox" additive. Using the historical metaphor of Ponce de León’s search for the Fountain of Youth, the narrator explains how Petrox acts as a life-extending agent for automobile engines. By forming a protective molecular film and burning cleanly without leaving metallic deposits, Petrox prevents the accumulation of harmful residue on valves, pistons, and spark plugs. The film presents the results of extensive road tests, demonstrating that while engines typically lose power and efficiency over time, those using Petrox maintain or even improve their performance and fuel economy over tens of thousands of miles. Ultimately, the commercial markets Petrox as an exclusive, scientifically advanced solution to keep cars running like new for longer, positioning it alongside Havoline motor oil as the premier choice for vehicle longevity.
