Quality Assessment of Lubricating Oil
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
The quality of lubricating oil has a direct relationship with optimum performance of automotive and other types of machines. The study was aimed at ascertaining the quality of available lubricating oil in the market, weather it conforms to standard. The oil sample was measured to suitable amount and transferred to the still. A solvent-carrier liquid was added into the sample in the still and glass beads/other boiling acids added to reduce bumping. The apparatus were assembled and healed, adjusting the rate of boiling. When the evolution of water was completed, trap and its content were allowed to cool to room temperature. Data were collected through experimental work established by international standard (which is ASTM and IP). Obtained results showed that multinational lubricant producing companies produce high quality compared to the indigenous companies. It also shows that some engines oil should be avoided so as to enhance the life of automotives engine. The study recommended that the roadside engine oil should be avoided so as to enhance the life of automotive engine.
