They do not mix, the oil and water circulate in separate closed systems within the engine block. The water is pumped through the radiator, then through special channels in the engine in order to cool it by means of heat transfer. The the oil is pumped from the oil pan to the head, pistons, crank, and other essential engine components. If the water and oil in your engine do happen to mix it's typically a problem due to a blown head gasket, or cracked or warped cylinder head. Failure to repair this condition can result in engine failure.
They shouldn't mix at all. Each provides a separate function for the engine and each has it's own arteries to perform that function. If water and oil mix in a water cooled engine it is because of a head gasket failure or cracked block. Water in your oil will result in engine failure in pretty short order.
The oil rises to the top of the water because they do not mix.
oil and alcohol doesnt mix with water
Water and oil does not mix because water is molecule and oil is made of hydrocarbon chains. Only molecule substances can mix with molecule solutes.
Water, of course ! Water is the liquid that doesn't mix well with oil.
water and if they mix
No it's water cooled, but it is supplied with engine oil pressure for the bearings.
You can, but if it is not water-cooled then it will not lubricate correctly since an air-cooled engine runs at nearly or greater than the temperature of a water-cooled engine.
Blown head gasket
Water cooled.
Most oils nowadays are 50:1. The great thing now is that an air cooled engine two cycle oil often comes in a package that mixes a gallon of gas to the correct amount. Beware of outboard motor oil as those engines are water cooled, not air cooled (heat is different.)
2.1 quarts
It can allow water to mix with the engine oil and destroy the engine.
rx8 light does not come on when water and oil mix. if the oil and water mix is up the dipstick then this is norm more so on short journeys
Only if it is a 2 cycle engine and you mix the oil with the gasoline. If it is a 4 cycle engine, then using 2 cycle oil will destroy the engine over time. Use SAE 10w30 synthetic oil in your air cooled 4 cycle engine.
If it's in a water-cooled engine, like in a car, then it means you've got water in your oil - a bad thing.
Both. In reality, the motorcycle has 3 forms of cooling: water, air, and even the engine's oil contributes to its heat dissapation. This is one of the reasons your choice of engine oil and proper maintenance of that oil is critical to the bike; not just lubrication but cooling as well.
No. Oil cooled.
