    Engine oil serves 5 vital functions in a diesel engine: lubricating friction surfaces to form a fluid film, cooling internal parts by absorbing heat, cleaning the engine by flushing away dirt, supporting the crankshaft and bearings, and protecting the engine from harmful acids, rust, and deposits. Viscosity refers to the internal resistance as one layer of liquid moves relative to another layer. SAE ratings indicate oil viscosity at different temperatures.

    An engine oil serves 5 vital functions in a modern diesel


    engine:

    1. Lubricates friction surfaces by forming a fluid film

    2. Cools internal engine parts by absorbing heat.

    3. Cleans the engine by flushing away dirt and wear particles

    4. Supports the crankshaft and bearing

    5. Protects the engine from harmfull acids, rust and deposits
