Knowing about engine oil function is very important and necessary to prolong your machine service life. This article mainly talks about Cummins diesel generator engine oil function. If you are using Cummins power equipment, this post will be helpful. Lubrication The primary function of the engine oil is to lubricate moving parts. The oil forms a hydrodynamic film between metal surfaces, preventing metal-to-metal contact and reducing friction. When the oil film is not sufficient to prevent metal-to-metal contact, the following occurs: ● Heat is generated through friction ● Local welding occurs ● Metal transfer results in scuffing or seizing. Extreme Pressure Wear Control Modern lubricants contain Extreme Pressure (EP) anti-wear additives. These additives form a chemically bonded molecular film on the metal surfaces at high pressures to prevent direct contact and wear when the load on the parts is high enough to eliminate the hydrodynamic oil fil...
