  • Page 57: Definition Of Properties Of Engine Oil

    Chapter 5 ENGINE OIL Definition of Properties of Engine Oil Kinetic Viscosity Kinetic viscosity is a basic physical property of engine oil and is considered as the most important aspect when evaluating oil. Contamination of oil due to blow-by gas and deterioration of oil or its natural aging increases the kinetic viscosity and degrades the performance of viscosity, which will cause the deposition of sludge inside the engine and oil filter clogging.
  • Page 58: Water Content

    Chapter 5 ENGINE OIL Water Content Water in oil promotes corrosion/wear, and decreases lubricity in sliding parts. Flash Point The flash point is lowered by contamination with fuels. Flash point is used to check the dilution of fuel. The dilution of fuel reduces oil film, and causes insufficient lubrication that will cause friction or wear of engine parts.
