The answers are located at the bottom of this page. The complete 126-question prac tice test with expanded answers is available at store.noria.com. ANSWERS 1. D Group IV is a PAO synthetic and has high oxidation stability. 2. E Thermal degradation (breakdown) typically occurs at very high temperatures due to heat alone with or without oxygen present. Acid number and other oxidation stability tests will not help in monitoring the thermal breakdown of oil. Thermal breakdown may result in thermal cracking of the base oil, thus leading to a critical drop in viscosity and sometimes fl ash point. 3. A This is because overgreasing creates high viscous friction, which leads to high temperature. The high temperature causes the oil within the grease to rapidly oxidize and in some cases leads to premature failure. 1. Oxidation stability is highest for which of the following groups? A) Group I B) Group II C) Group III D) Group IV E) Fuel oil 2. Thermal breakdown of lubricants typically: A) Occurs at very high temperatures due to heat alone with an absence of oxygen B) Is monitored with acid number C) May result in thermal cracking of the base oil and a decrease in viscosity D) All of the above E) Answers A and C 3. Overgreasing is a common problem with higher speed rolling bearings because: A) It causes the temperature to rise B) It causes the grease to mechanically shear down C) It causes the grease to change color D) It causes the temperature to decrease E) It causes the bearings to elastically deform in shape
