What does engine lubrication do?

Answer 1

Engine lubrication helps to disperse heat and keep the engines/ transmissions metal/ aluminum parts from rubbing on each other by staying in between the parts.

Depending on the engine Gas or diesel engine oil can do many things, the main goal of engine oil is to remove heat and form a film of oil on or around the surfaces , and in the event of parts meshing with one another to form a barrier that will cushion and prevent wear of those parts. Oil has many things added to them depending on the manfaturers formulation, first thing they ad is an add pack, this may contain zink,calcium, many different things to prevent metal scoring in the event of metal to metal contact the ADD packs have things that are able to withstand pressure and act as a buffer between to surfaces. second is cleaners, and by that I mean Surfactants, solvents, things that will emulsify with dirt and carry the dirt to the oil filter. Noe you have many products that are sold to improve oil and it's protection feature over and above just the oil alone. one is Silicon Carbide coatings (STM-3) that form a smooth surface on the metal themselves and this feature improves the performance of standard oil.

I ran across this product Cerma 4 years ago tried it and have used it in everything that we own. We had a 2005 Ford Escape that got 20.5 mpg and we treated it with the Cerma in April and the following July we were getting 27 mpg and 30,000 miles later we reached 32.15 mpg. It just kept getting better and better. It was just a little 2.3 Ltr and seemed to take 1/2 mile or more to pass a car before treatment and after treating it the hp increased to where we could zip around a car with no problem. We have used it in everything from that to a Intl tractor, 4-wheeler, chain saws, lawn mowers, anything that requires lubrication.
