Engine oil and cold weather don't mix well. Here's why viscosity matters, how cold affects oil flow, and how the right oil ...

Nissan has teamed up with the Japanese Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) to develop a neutron imaging system that will display the flow of oil in an engine operating at high speed. This will be a first ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Although engine oil enters cars as a yellow liquid, you'll almost always find its color to be brown or black when it's being ...
