| What Every Lubricant
Must Do
Though the ability to minimize friction is the
number one function of a lubricant , there are other major functions
that must be considered. Here are some of the basics without getting
to technical. A lubricant is likely to be also required to:
Clean-
A lubricant must maintain internal cleanliness by suspending
contaminants from adhering to components
Cool Moving Elements-
Reducing friction will reduce the
amount of heat that is generated and lower the operating temperature
of the components. A lubricant must also absorb heat from components
and transfer it to a location where it can be safely dissipated.
Prevent Contamination-
The lubricant should act as a
dynamic seal in locations such as the piston, piston ring and cylinder
contact areas. This minimizes contamination by combustion byproducts
(for example) in the lubricating system. Lubricants are also relied
upon to support mechanical seals found elsewhere and to minimize
external contamination and fluid loss.
Dampen Shock-
The lubricant may be required to
cushion the blows of mechanical shock. A lubricant film can absorb and
dispense energy spikes over a broader contact area.
Transfer Energy-
A lubricant may be required to act as an energy transfer median as in
the case of hydraulic equipment or lifters in an automotive engine.
Prevent Corrosion-
A lubricant must also have the ability
to prevent or minimize internal component corrosion. This can be
accomplished either by chemically neutralizing the corrosive products
or by setting up a barrier between the components and the corrosive
material.

filter particles down to less than one micron ( a standard full flow
oil filter can only filter to 20-25 microns, and at a reduced
efficiency) making oil changes virtually unnecessary and virtually
eliminating engine wear. These filters have been proven by
millions of miles of over-the road trucks, construction equipment and
fleet service.
