Understanding viscosity is the first step in choosing the proper motor oil for your engine’s needs. Choosing the wrong motor oil can lead to leaking seals and reduced energy efficiency. In this article, we will cover the basic principles of viscosity and engine oil, the effects of viscosity on your engine, and how to choose a motor oil that is right for you.

“We would like people to be recycling their fuel in the same way that they recycle other things”- Steve Oldham, CEO of Carbon Engineering
On January 9, 2019 Carbon Engineering (CE) announced the investment of Chevron Technology Ventures in CE’s technology called “direct air capture” (DAC). CE’s DAC technology refines carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and combines it with hydrogen from water to create gas or jet fuel. The DAC process reduces the impacts of climate change by using the Earth’s atmosphere as a way to recycle fuel.

Efficiency is key to top engine performance, as new engines are being built to address fuel economy and emissions standards. To achieve efficiency and increased power, automakers began downsizing engines. Although efficiency was achieved, the performance of engines began to suffer. To offset the changes, automakers added turbochargers to the downsized engines to boost operating pressure. The reduction of engine size and the addition of turbochargers has led to the phenomenon of Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI). LSPI is “an abnormal combustion event caused by higher in-cylinder pressures…while operating under low speed, high-torque conditions“.
Like most parents, they believe they always know best. In most cases, this is accurate (at least that’s what we’ll say) except when it comes to the myths of engine idling.
Did you know that particle contamination in lubricants is the number 1 cause of lubricant-related equipment failures and it’s estimated that 82% of component wear is particle-induced, with abrasion wear accounting for two-thirds of that figure?
Particle contamination can be harmful to equipment, as this often lead to equipment failure and money lost. No matter what industry you work in, construction, agriculture, manufacturing, etc., fighting particle contamination of lubricating oils should be a top priority.
