An engine’s reliability depends largely on the quality of the lubricant working within it, particularly the viscosity level that develops when the unit operates for extended periods at full throttle and full load. However, viscosity also affects fuel consumption, so it’s essential to find the right balance between protecting the mechanics and reducing energy consumption The primary function of a lubricant within an engine is to separate the surfaces of interconnected mechanical components. Two examples of this are the pistons sliding within the cylinders and the bearings supporting the crankshafts,…
