Oil Consumption & Oil Service Intervals For I.C. Engines

Oil Consumption & Oil Service Intervals For I.C. Engines

INTRODUCTION

    The need for lubricating oil in a combustion engine is as great as the need for fuel for normal function. Therefore, to prevent the inefficient use of natural resources and to reduce pollutant emissions, it is equally necessary to reduce the amount of oil consume by engine. For passenger cars this can be done by targeting improvement in oil consumption through further developments in existing engines and improvements in new engine designs.

This seminar looks at the ways in which an engine can be optimized in order to :

*    Reduce the amount of fresh oil needed for top up between oil service intervals, by reducing actual oil consumption,
*    Increasing the length of time between oil changes.
