You might be surprised to learn that the seals inside your engine aren’t static. They’re dynamic components that can actually change size due to the
Did you know that TAN (Total Acid Number) and TBN (Total Base Number) are critical indicators of lubricant health? Let’s break it down: Regular monitoring
Mini-Rotary Viscometer (MRV) testing and the concept of Yield Stress provide a comprehensive lens for evaluating the behaviour of engine lubricants at sub-zero temperatures. This
HTHS Viscosity (ASTM D4683) is a critical metric for understanding engine lubricant performance under extreme conditions, with implications for formulation, wear protection, and efficiency. The
Engine oils use a range of anti-wear additives to protect critical components from wear damage during operation. Anti-wear additives form protective films on metal surfaces
Brookfield viscometers are widely used to measure the viscosity and flow properties of lubricating oils at different temperatures and shear rates. The results provide key
The cold cranking simulator (CCS) test measures an engine oil’s ability to flow and provide lubrication at low temperatures, such as cold engine start. Oils
Oil has been the lifeblood of engines for over a century, yet much of its science remains mysterious to everyday users. This “The Lubricant Lab”
