Lubricating oil is NOT volatile.
Lubricating Oil Is A Thick Fatty Oil (Especially One To Be Used For Lubricating Factory Machinery)
W. Fro ssel has written: 'High-speed lubricating oil pump'
It has a very similar viscosity to heating oil but is thinner, It does not have the same lubricating quality as heating oil and will burn out the oil pump prematurely, so not recommended.
It is self-lubricating
No, the lubricating oil is a liquid
It was not invented. In fact the Romans had used it so it is nothing new.
yes
Lubricating oil is used to reduce friction between moving parts and to prevent damage due to excess heat. Lubricating oil also carries away sludge preventing the erosion of moving parts.
It is possible to thin the engine oil far enough that it loses it's lubricating ability and could cause irrepairable harm to the engine. Engine oil lubricates. Transmission oil is designed to run through a pump as it lubricates. An automatic transmission is a pump. Totally different from the oil pump found in an engine.

The sump is a tank (reservoir) at the bottom of the engine which contains lubricating oil. When the engine is switched off, the warm lubricating oil at the top of the engine, seeps back into the sump by gravity, ready for future lubricating use when the engine is running again.
