5 poor lubrication cause problems in engine
What is Lubrication and why this is used in automobile engine.
Lubrication is a system that is used where two meeting parts are rubbing to each other, to reduce the friction between two moving parts.
And in engine there are so many running parts.
To overcome friction and to increase the reliability of engine we use Lubrication system.
To ensure engine functions properly, and avoid common lubrication mistakes:
1. Over-lubrication
Over Lubrication is most common error, while putting oil into the engine.Lubrication have its own volume thats it cover space and when we put over lube oil then it cover the space and can jam the engine rotation/process.
That cause additional maintenance and services for the vehicle.
And on other hand over greasing may lead serious failure, like overweight, seal the engine, high pressure creation that harms bearing parts.
.
2. Under-lubrication
A lack of lubricants is likely one of the common problems that is find out in every car/vehicle.
Under Lubrication's problem generated due to low maintenance Under Lubrication can cause more problems
Like excessive heat and abnormal sounds comes out from the engine part and by these chance of failure increased.
And this under Lubrication problem are detected very easily.
3. Using the wrong lubricant
Every Lubrication oil have its own specific operating temperature range and it will used in that specific temperature zone.Using wrong lubricant not only cause of failures may also void the warranty of specific machine/engine.
Every machinery manufacturer recommends a specific lubricant for every different machinaries.
If some one violates this manufacturer's instructions then it lead to a serious issue with machinary.
As per reports viscosity is one of the most important factor of a lubricant.
Every lubricant have it's own specific viscosity.
For this every manufacturer recommend a use of specific lubricant
So before changing the lubricant must read all documents carefully.
4. Mixing lubricants
mixing different different lubricants to each other may lead to a degradation of lubricant performance.
But Mixing the same API grades of synthetic passenger car motor oil and mineral oil-based engine oil would not damage the engine, but it can down the engine performance.
all lubricants are not equal in there quality.
According to the source, when the wrong lubricants mix, they risk expanding or shrinking nearby seals, causing them to failures of system. Such problems result in increased spending, as those budget must be replaced.
Similar problems occur when an thickener is added to grease. The mixture can become unstable/unsteady and for use on most machinery.
the grease must be damage out too, and that leads to further expenses.
5. Lubricant contamination
Lubrication contamination is one of the chief cause of premature failures of engines parts.
These contaminants not only cause of wearing of parts but also it is very expensive to remove these contaminants.
contamination may come from particles in the ambient air, dirt from outside the facility or from agents within the machine itself.
