SAE 30 - ANS-When a SAE 20 is blended with an SAE 40, will that resulted viscosity be
closer to SAE 30 or SAE 60?
Better thermal stability, high VI, lower pour point, natural detergent (some cases), fire
resistant (some cases). - ANS-Name four possible benefits of using synthetic base oil
as a lubricant.
Polyalphaolefin (PAO) - ANS-Name the synthetic base oil that is widely used as
crankcase oil and is mixable with mineral oil.

additive. True or false?
Salt

process.
10 to 30% - ANS-What concentration of additives might be found in typical diesel engine
crankcase oil?

ZDDP - ANS-Name three types of antioxidants.
High temperature, water oil aeration, Metal catalyst (for example, wear debris) -
ANS-Name common causes of lubricant oxidation.
Sludge/varnish formation, oil darkening, acids and putrid oil odor. - ANS-What are
common indications of oil oxidation that are observed with the human senses?
Causes corrosive wear, oil flow is hampered by varnish and sludge, filters plug, increase
viscosity causes heat buildup and oil flow problems. - ANS-How does oxidized oil affect
machine reliability?
Rotating pressure vessel oxidation test - others, FTIR, DSC, cyclic voltametry -
ANS-Which test can be used to assess the depletion of antioxidant additives?
To produce a barrier film on oil-wetted ferrous surfaces to repel water. - ANS-What is
the role of a rust inhibitor?
All lubricants, except some synthetics, are formulated with rust inhibitors - ANS-Name
four lubricant types that are typically formulated with rust inhibitors.
Motor oils, also some compressor oils, paper machine oils, and gas engine oils -
ANS-Name a common lubricant that uses a detergent additive

oil detergent additive?
, Dispersant - ANS-Name the additive that is polar, envelopes soot, and keeps it finally
divided.
Coolant contamination, Overextended oil drain, Water contamination High blowby, long
idling, high elevation, exhaust gas recirculation. - ANS-Name common causes of loss of
dispersancy in motor oil.
Engine deposits, sludge, impaired lubrication and oil flow. - ANS-What are
consequences of a loss of dispersancy?
Rust inhibitor - ANS-What is the name of the additive that is primarily designed to
control rust?
VI improver - ANS-What is a common additive found in SAE 0W-30 motor oil but not
found in SAE 30 motor oil?
Viscosity increase, AN increase, darker color, putrid oil odor, the oil will oxidize. - ANS-In
case of an oil that has operated for an extended period of time with depleted antioxidant
additives, how might the properties of that oil change?
Pour point dispersant - ANS-Name the additive that specifically reduces an oil's
tendency to fail to flow at cold start up temperatures.
