Connecting Rod Bearings
|
| |
|
| What happened: |
The connecting rod bearing had an excellent oil coating despite sitting for 3 week. Additionally, we noted that despite the severe loads which were applied to this motor the machining marks were still visible in the connecting rod bearings. |
| |
|
| Why did it happen: |
Certain elements in the formulation disassociated themselves to the metal and provided sufficient boundary lubrication. This will significantly reduce the wear in an engine. |
| |
|
| Why is this important: |
Approximately 85.0% or more of wear in an engine occurs at start-up or at cold operating conditions. Motor oil needs to be able to provide a sufficient coating to protect the moving parts until the oil flows. |
| |
|
| Vehicle application: |
Regardless of the vehicle or application, this is critical to prevent wear and maintain the performance of an engine. |
