Functions of Engine Lubrication System and Properties of oil

Functions of Engine Lubrication System: 1.       Lubricate Engine parts to minimize wear. 2.       Lubricate Engine parts to minimize power loss due to friction. 3.       Act as a seal between piston and cylinder wall. 4.       Absorbs shock between bearings and other engine parts. Thus extending engine life reducing noise and breakage of engine parts. 5.       Act as a cooling agent. 6.       Also act as a cleaning agent. Properties of oil: a.       Viscosity. b.       Power point. c.        Resistance to carbon formation. d.       Oil oxidization   resistance. e.       Compression and rust protection. f.         Foaming resistance. g.       Extreme pressure resistance.
