measure of stress and friction. Lubricants are essential as it prevents the automobiles
from premature wear. Car engines and gearboxes run smoothly thanks to sophisticated
oils and greases. The four core roles of automotive lubricants are to regulate friction and
wear, prevent rusting, cool the pistons, and shield the sump-stored engine oil from
combustion fumes. The viscosity of a lubricant is, in fact, perhaps the most important
physical characteristic. How it changes with temperature, shear rate, and pressure
chemistry is also crucial; it must be anti-oxidant and able to "laid down" a protective film
to fend off wear and tear in situations when metallic contact is unavoidable. 2 Tools,
averting impetuous wear and tear, overheating and other mechanical failures, a proper
lubrication is vital. On top of that, it also aids in improving fuel efficiency, reduces the
noise and vibration and enables the vehicle to further lengthen its lifespan. Such
significant maintenance and routine for engines are crucial for every vehicle owners to
save them from a far more repair cost if not well taken care of.
