There are at least five main functions of engine oil: Cool--absorbs heat as it is circulated, cooling the engine. Lubricate--creates a viscous barrier between moving parts that reduces friction, which means less heat and longer life for those parts. Clean--small particles of dirt or other contaminants are suspended in oil and carried away to be filtered out. Seal--helps to seal the space between the pistons and the cylinder walls so that compression is more effective and power is not lost during combustion. Protect--coats parts to provide a layer of protection against corrosion/rust.
The marine main engine lube oil sump is critical to keep the engine running. If the pump gets clogged or fails, then the engine will seize and be ruined.
The three main functions of piston rings in reciprocating engines are:Sealing the combustion/expansion chamber.Supporting heat transfer from the piston to the cylinder wall.Regulating engine oil consumption.

engine oil is thick than hydraulic oil
in cooking, the main function of oil. is to help it to cook properly and to help it to be 'unsticky' and to help it not to stick to the pan :)

An oil catch can functions by allowing oil to pass through the spout, without allowing the vapors caused by the oil, to flow into and around the engine of the car.

There are two main places to find oil in a car, they are the engine and gear box.
That is a medal tray that is bolted to the main caps on the bottom of the engine that is designed to keep the engine oil from splashing up in the engine and stop the oil pump pick-up tube from sucking air instead of oil. It also stops the engine oil from foaming in the oil pan due to splashing.
Antifreeze in the oil of any engine means there is a crack in the head gasket, or worse, in the block.
