additives into an already marketed formulation,
there is always some give and take. Check out this article on the ML site to
find out why you should have your oil tested against the corresponding ASTM
test methods and EPA regulations so no harm is done to the engine or the
emission-control devices.
How Lubricants Work in Engines
Today's more sophisticated vehicles and machines are demanding more
sophisticated lubricants. Lubricants also must often do their job under extreme
operating conditions which conspire to break down the lubricant and reduce
its effectiveness. Access this 4-minute, 43-second video to see how lubricants
perform their critical role in engines.
Tips for Testing
an Oil's Viscosity
Temperature is the most
inf luential factor in measuring
viscosity. As temperature goes up,
viscosity goes down and vice versa.
Discover why you must normalize
an oil's temperature when testing
for viscosity, as well as the reasons
for measuring viscosity at specific
temperatures, by reading this
article on the ML site.
