Sure, high-performance engines burn fuel. But they wouldn’t be able to do it for very long if it wasn't for oil of varying viscosities that lubricates crankshafts, cams, bearings, rods, pistons, rings ...

Drivers tend to assume that if the oil was changed “recently,” the engine is safe, but the real story is what happened during ...

This paper explains the mechanisms that affect lubricating oil consumption in stationary gas engines. It explains the positive and negative consequences of oil consumption. It discusses the importance ...

Home mechanics have been pouring vegetable oil into engines for years, sometimes in the fuel tank, sometimes straight into ...

Oil and lubricants play a critical role in the operation of natural gas and biogas power generation engines, for example, in combined cycle (CC) and combined heat and power (CHP) plants. The oil ...

To fully understand oil, it helps to understand what’s happening under the hood. An engine has cylinders inside – for example (and obviously), a four-cylinder engine has four of them. Each cylinder ...

Your engine’s oil pressure is one of those things that needs to be just right. If it’s too high or too low, it can be indicative of other problems. This is especially true with high oil pressure, as ...
