The engine oil’s primary job is to lubricate the moving parts. It does this by forming a thin film over the machined surfaces of the engine’s components to prevent them from actually touching each other, and therefore causing friction, wear and damage.

Base oils and additives are often heated to various temperatures and “blended” to form the different specification and viscosity types of lubricant products for engine oils, hydraulic oils, gear oils, brake fluids, transmission oils, and industrial oils and grease products.
The necessity to improve both th... Read More
