Properties of Engine OilProperties of Engine Oil

• Most important engine oil property is thickness or viscosity– As oil is cooled, it gets thicker– As oil is heated, it gets thinner

Properties of Engine OilProperties of Engine Oil

• Lowest temperature at which oil will pour is called its pour point

• Index of change in viscosity between cold and hot extremes is viscosity index (VI)

Figure 22-11 A cutaway of a typical spin-on oil filter. Engine oil enters the filter through the small holes around the center of the filter and flows through the pleated paper filtering media and out the large hole in the center of the filter. The center metal cylinder with holes is designed to keep the paper filter from collapsing under the pressure. The bypass valve can be built into the center on the oil filter or is part of the oil filter housing and located in the engine.
