The thinner in oil is the easier it pumps through the engine, which leads to a fuel economy improvement. We can all understand that, but there's a lot more to oil viscosity than how thick it is. I ...

In situ viscosity and temperature sensors are key to effective lubricant monitoring, driving smarter maintenance and ...

The pour point of an oil is an essential property that determines how it will flow at a given temperature. This is particularly useful for many systems where the temperature can fluctuate due to ...

Every fleet owner should know the basics about the viscosity of the lubricants they are using and why the viscosity matters. Fleets—especially mixed ones—require a variety of lubricants. This ranges ...

A recent study used various gas oils and blends with residual heavy oils in order to evaluate the predictability of four different correlations. The gas oils differed substantially in their ...
