What Causes Engine Oil Emulsification?
1 Answers
Automotive engine oil emulsification occurs due to the presence of water in the engine. This issue is unrelated to the engine itself but is associated with factors such as oil quality, weather conditions, and the operating environment of the engine. Relevant information about engine oil is as follows: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves multiple functions including lubrication and friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a vehicle. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent of lubricants, determining their fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and enhance the performance shortcomings of the base oil, imparting new characteristics. Additives are an essential part of lubricants.
