Can You Use Synthetic Oil In An Older Engine? Every engine requires oil to function, though oil itself has changed a lot over the decades. It's no longer a bad idea to use synthetic oil in an older engine.
A new atomistic route to viscosity—even near the glass transition We rarely think about how liquids flow—why honey is thick, water is thin or how molten plastic moves through machines. But for scientists and engineers, understanding and predicting the viscosity of ...
The lube kitchen: Is your point depressing? DURING the ongoing journey through the world of additives with condition monitoring specialist company, WearCheck, one of the featured set of additives is those ...
Does Engine Oil Get Thinner At Higher Temperatures? Liquids get thinner as they warm up, but does this happen to the oil inside a car engine? Here are the basics of motor oil chemistry and how heat transforms it.
GM L87 Engine Recall: Everything You Need To Know About The Oil A low number means low viscosity (thin), and a high number means high viscosity (thick). Therefore, the 0W-40 oil that GM is using and recommending in non-replaced L87 engines affected by the ...
GM L87 Engine Recall: What You Need To Know About The Oil There is a lot of misunderstanding about oil viscosity and engines. For example GM itself has said that they designed their L3B turbo 2.7 inline 4 to run on 0w20 and then switched to 5w30 at the ...
