  2. SAE J300 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_J300

    The grades with a W designation are considered Winter-grades, and denote an engine oil's low-temperature properties, while non-winter grades denote an engine oil's properties at the operating temperature of an engine. [5] The SAE 8 through SAE 16 viscosity grades describe oils that can improve fuel economy through reduced hydrodynamic friction ...

  3. Shell Rotella - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_Rotella

    Shell Rotella is a line of heavy-duty engine lubrication products produced by Shell plc. The line includes engine oils, gear oils and coolants. The oil carries both the American Petroleum Institute (API) diesel "C" rating as well as the API gasoline engine "S" rating. Ratings differ based on the oil.

  4. Motor oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil

    An oil pump, a vane or gear pump powered by the engine, pumps the oil throughout the engine, including the oil filter. Oil filters can be a full flow or bypass type. In the crankcase of a vehicle engine, motor oil lubricates rotating or sliding surfaces between the crankshaft journal bearings (main bearings and big-end bearings) and rods ...

  5. Oil pump (internal combustion engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pump_(internal...

    Colder oil temperature can cause higher pressure, as the oil is thicker, while higher engine speeds cause the pump to run faster and push more oil through the engine. Because of variances in temperature and normal higher engine speed upon cold engine start up, it's normal to see higher oil pressure upon engine start up than at normal operating ...

  6. Cylinder Head Temperature gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_Head_Temperature...

    Commonly used on air-cooled engines, the head temperature gauge displays the work that the engine is performing more quickly than an oil or water temperature gauge. As the engine works at high speed or uphill, head temperature will increase quickly. The meter can be digital or analog. An air-cooled engine requires a steady flow of air for ...

  7. Operating temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_temperature

    An operating temperature is the allowable temperature range of the local ambient environment at which an electrical or mechanical device operates. The device will operate effectively within a specified temperature range which varies based on the device function and application context, and ranges from the minimum operating temperature to the maximum operating temperature (or peak operating ...

  8. Two-stroke oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_oil

    The oil is dyed blue to make it easier to recognize in the gasoline. It appears black in this bottle because it is not diluted. Two-stroke oil (also referred to as two-cycle oil, 2-cycle oil, 2T oil, or 2-stroke oil) is a special type of motor oil intended for use in crankcase compression two-stroke engines, typical of small gasoline-powered ...
