::Engine Oil 107:: It is clear that – for the majority of the players in the lubricant industry – the proper viscosity of a fluid is the most important attribute in proper lubrication. There are several reasons for this, including, but not limited to: * Viscosity affects fluid film thickness under certain conditions of temperature and load in lubrication applications. * Viscosity affects heat generation and removal in bearings, cylinders and gears. * Viscosity determines the ease with which machines can be started in low-temperature conditions or can be kept running in high-temperature conditions. * Viscosity can be used to control a fluid’s sealing ability, which results in lower consumption. source - BITOG sarjantulang
