the effect of polarity of solvent on the viscosity and viscosity index of lubricating engine oil has been studied using ethanol as an example of polar solvent and toluene as an example of non-polar solvent at different solvent ratios and ambient temperature and additionally other experiments have been done at five different temperatures including 100 oC. So that, the activation energy of viscous flow (Ea) was calculated, and for this purpose Arrhenius viscosity-temperature dependence has been applied and the results were 42.128, 29.256 and 35.417KJ/mole for lubricating engine oil mixed with ethanol, toluene and no additives in turn. It additionally shows that adding polar solvent to lubrication engine oil viscosity increases this may be due to the fact of strong inter molecular forces that found in polar molecules such as hydrogen bonding in ethanol makes the solution forces stronger as a result higher viscosity. However, adding non-polar solvent decreases viscosity because of small size of toluene and both paraffinic lubricating oil and toluene have same London dispersion inter molecular forces. Last not least, the result shows that engine oil mixed with non-polar molecule gives more temperature stability than that of polar molecule giving viscosity index (VI) 366 and 580 respectively.

Nano-WS2(tungsten disulfide nanoparticles)lubricating oil additive, prepared by the nanometer WS2particulates and semi-synthetic engine base oil as raw materials, was added into Great Wall engine oil with different mass ratio. With a contrast study on these oil samples, the results show that it can improve the extreme pressure, antiwear and viscosity-temperature properties of the engine oil effectively by adding a certain amount of nano-WS2additive, and the optimal concentration is 2wt%. The oil film strength, sintering load and viscosity index of this lubricating oil is respectively 1.35 times, 1.58 times and 1.05 times as that of Great Wall engine oil. In addition, when tested under the grinding conditions of 392 N, 1450 r /min and 30 min, the diameter of worn spot reduces 0.018mm, and the average friction coefficients of friction pairs decrease 16.3%, both of which are lubricated by the oil containing nano-WS2additive. Meanwhile, the experiments testify that the tribological and viscosity-temperature properties of the nano-WS2additive are better than that of the Henkel MoS2additive.

The aim of this study is to develop a mathematical model of the lubricating oil viscosity changes during the exploitation time of the engine.The aim was achieved by measurements of dynamic viscosity of engine oil used in a passenger car Volkswagen Touran equipped with a turbocharged diesel engine with a capacity of 2.0 liters. The recommended interval for oil change in this engine model is 30000 km. Oil used in this study was Shell Helix AV-L (viscosity grade SAE 5W30, designation VW: 50700).Viscosity tests were made on a Haake MARS III using two measuring systems. The first consisted of a plate-cone system with Peltier element for temperature stabilization. The second one is the high shear rate chamber with temperature control thermostat co-operating with ultra-A40 AC200 which can operate at temperatures ranging from-40 °C to +200 °C. The high shear rate chamber, consisting of a measuring cylinder and the rotor, the shear rate can achieve up to 200000 s–1.Dynamic viscosity measurements were performed at temperatures ranging from 20 °C to 90 °C.The results of the research are shown in the graphs and in tabular form. Obtained graphs made it possible to determine characteristics of the oil ageing for each mileages, temperatures and shear rates.

The composition and paramagnetism of oil fractions (300-350oC), (350-400oC), (400-450oC), and (450-500oC) of West-Absheron oil were studied using IR, ESR spectroscopy and luminescence methods. In all these refineries, asphaltene radicals with a concentration of 1018spin/g are registered, which screen all paramagnetic particles present in the oil system. With the exception of the fraction (300-350oC), in which much lower than in the listed fractions, it was possible to register the spectra of metal oxides (DHwidth=117mtl, g=2.7), the spectra from aromatic hydrocarbon radicals (DНwidth=10mtl, g=2.4), which was also registered in the fr.(140-3200C) of the oil itself. The presence of these petroleum products greatly reduces the oil viscosity index. As a result of the cleaning of the latter with an ionic liquid and an adsorption method in the studied oil fractions were found in trace amounts. The increase in the viscosity index of the oil fr. (350-500oC) was increased only after the addition of a foreign Lubrizol additive concentrate. Thus, the SAE15W40 engine oil with a viscosity index of 101.2 and a low pour point (-30oC) was obtained, which is recommended as a motor oil for diesel engines.

The viscosity of two varieties of Canarium schweinfurthiiEngl. fruits oil (large and long) were studied at four different temperatures (30, 40, 50 and 60<sup>o</sup>C) and three shear rates (7.91, 15.82 and 39.54 s<sup>–1</sup>). SurgiFriend Medical (model NDJ-5S) viscometer was used to carry out the study. Biodiesel characteristics of the oil were also investigated. The results showed that variety had no effect (P &lt; 0.05) on the viscosity of Canarium schweinfurthii Engl. fruit while temperature had especially at 50<sup>o</sup>C and above. The shear rate of 15.82 s<sup>–1 </sup>(12 rps) gave the lowest oil viscosity for both varieties. The oil from large fruit had the best temperature stability, low percentage viscosity (6.33%) variation and least activation energy (796.51 J·mol<sup>–1</sup>·K<sup>–1</sup>) while long variety had best biodiesel characteristic for safe handling. Temperature had no significant (P &lt; 0.05) effect on the consistency coefficient (C) and flow behaviour index (n) of both varieties of Canarium schweinfurthii Engl. fruits oil. Besides, oil from both fruit varieties is Newtonian fluids.

In recent days, Automobiles that make easy transportation of goods play an important role in the economic growth of any country. Transportation necessitates the continuous running of a vehicle without any unwanted break downs. The engine is considered as the heart of an automobile. Vehicle break on may happen due to unexpected or premature failures of some critical parts of an engine. Critical parts of engines are mainly cylinder, piston, crankshaft, timing belt, and clutch. The failure of the above components mainly depends on the lubricating performance of engine oil. Now a day’s oil is being usually replaced based on periodic maintenance schedule designed by vehicle manufacturers. This schedule is framed based on kilometer coverages of vehicles or time period. In this practice, there is the possibility of being oil replaced before completing its life. Even during service work, technicians in the workshop do not follow any method to know the actual condition of oil before replacing it. There is a need for actual driving habits, traffic conditions, engine speed, and load conditions, road conditions (gradients) to predict the condition up to which oil was being utilized. Thus the above is helpful in the prediction of the remaining life of engine oil. This can be done only by monitoring the properties of engine oil continuously during vehicle running. The properties of any lubricating oil are the viscosity, Viscosity index, density, Specific weight, Specific volume, specific gravity, surface tension, and capillarity. Since viscosity place, a vital role in lubrication oil condition can be judged by monitoring it continuously. The monitoring of viscosity helps to identify the actual condition of the oil. This is done by a system that receives signal for the temperature of oil, converts the same into viscosity units and displays it. Therefore vehicle users can identify the exact replacement of engine oil.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to prepare novel types of copolymers and terpolymers depending on jojoba, and using them as additives for lubricating oil. Design/methodology/approach – Copolymerization of 1 mole of jojoba with 2 moles of vinyl acetate and copolymerization of 1 mole of jojoba with 2 moles of vinyl pyrrolidone were carried out. Then, two series of terpolymers were prepared by reacting (jojoba: vinyl acetate: alkylacrylate) and (jojoba: vinyl pyrrolidone: alkylacrylate), using free radical chain addition polymerization. Elucidation of the prepared polymers was carried out by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance and gel permeation chromatography, for determination of weight average molecular weight. The thermal stability of the prepared polymers was determined. The prepared polymers were evaluated as viscosity index improvers and pour point depressants for lubricating oil. Findings – It was found that the viscosity index increases with increasing the alkyl chain length of alkylacrylate. The effect of the monomer type was studied, and it was found that the polymers depending on vinyl acetate have great effect as viscosity index improvers and pour point depressants for lubricating oil. Originality/value – The polymerization of jojoba as different copolymers and terpolymers was carried out. The great influence of the prepared additives on modification of the viscosity properties and pour point of the oil was observed.

In this paper, the effects of clearance between piston and cylinder and oil viscosity index on the friction of area between the piston and cylinder of an internal combustion (IC) engine were investigated experimentally and theoretically. To this end, two values of 33 and 66 µm for the piston clearance, and two types of engine oil namely SAE10W40 and SAE20W50 were considered. To carry out the experiments, the engine was run under motored condition. The experiments were implemented at different oil temperatures and engine speeds. Based on the experimental results, although reduction in the piston clearance and the use of 20W50 oil caused an increase in the friction, but the effects of these two parameters became less with an increase in oil temperature and engine speed. The experimental results showed that the effect of clearance on the friction was more noticeable for low speeds. The maximum influence of the piston clearance decrease on the friction was 16% with the use of 20W50 oil at 1000 r/min when the oil temperature was 35 °C. The minimum influence of the piston clearance on the friction was 0.5% when the oil temperature was 90 °C and the engine speed was set on 6000 r/min. The theoretical results showed that the most contribution of the friction of piston/ring/cylinder assembly belonged to the piston skirt. Moreover, the effect of the piston skirt on the friction at high speeds was more than that of the piston rings. The friction value of the piston rings was not significantly altered by changing the engine speed, but it was considerably changed by the oil temperature variation. Whereas the piston skirt friction had an increasing trend with the speed rise, the change in the engine oil temperature, especially for low temperatures, had no significant effect on the piston skirt friction.
