Engine Oil

What engine oil provides.

Task 1: Lubricates

Forms a permanent lubricant film between the moving surfaces in the engine. Cylinders and pistons, in particular, must be adequately lubricated in order to prevent piston seizure. Lubrication provides protection against wear, thereby extending the engine's life, and reducing friction also saves fuel.

Task 2: Cleans

Keeps the engine clean. Special additives protect hot, moving engine parts from any contamination that may arise during the combustion process (or from use of biofuels such as biodiesel). The additives absorb impurities in the oil, preventing harmful deposits in the engine.

Task 3: Neutralises

Neutralises acids formed by combustion gases and unburnt fuel in the oil, thereby preventing corrosion – especially in the bearings.

Task 4: Cools

Dissipates heat. Oil cools many parts of the engine not reached by the coolant.
