Using a high-quality synthetic engine oil with a low viscosity can help reduce friction in a car engine by providing better lubrication between moving parts. It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for oil viscosity and change intervals to optimize engine performance and reduce wear.

One way to reduce friction in a car engine is to add an?
One of the ways to reduce friction in a car engine is to add an oil lubricant. The oil lubricant can be mineral or synthetic but they help the engine parts to move without too much ware. Another way would be to add an engine oil cooler.
What are two ways that friction in harmful involving a car?
its harmful to the engine, but without it your car could not move as the tires would just spin. can't have one without the other although things can be done to reduce it in the engine and increase it at the tires.
What is an example of reducing friction?
One way to reduce friction is to use a lubricant.
What kinds of substance reduce friction?
Friction is the act of one surface rubbing against another. To reduce friction, use something that offers a small amount of friction. Smoother substances reduce friction. A way to reduce friction is to use something which offers a small amount of friction. For example, you could use something like plastic or glass. Water, most liquids and different types of oil reduce friction. Powder, oil and grease are used in between surfaces to also reduce friction.
What is one way you can reduce friction?
You can reduce friction by using lubrication, like grease for bearing, sewing machine oil etc.
What is one way friction affects a car?
Creates heat in the engine (friction of moving parts creates heat) Reduces efficiency (friction in the drivetrain, as well as air resistance, slows the car down) Causes the tires to wear out (friction between the road and the rubber causes the rubber to wear)
What is one harmfull way friction affects a car?
Creates heat in the engine (friction of moving parts creates heat) Reduces efficiency (friction in the drivetrain, as well as air resistance, slows the car down) Causes the tires to wear out (friction between the road and the rubber causes the rubber to wear)
Forces acting on a car?
support, gravity, thrust (from the engine), friction (from the road) and drag (from the air) however drag and friction are often thought of to be the same thing. whether you include both or one is up to you. If you choose just one, use friction
Can you stop friction?
You can reduce it to a point it is not noticeable but can not eliminate it altogether. You can reduce friction through use of materials with lower coefficient of friction like PTFE or by changing the way the materials contact, say change a sliding one to a rotating one.
What two ways can you change friction?
Lubrication, is one way.Two ways to reduce friction are :.Lose weight.Wet the surface
Why is it not advisable to reduce friction?
If friction is zero no one would be able to walk along a street and no vehicles or cars can be driven.
Where is friction not useful and how to reduce it?
Friction is not useful to most athletes (i.e swimmers, skiers, etc.) and friction is caused by the little imperfections and textures of objects against each other. You can reduce it by smoothing down one of the surfaces; like putting a very fine, smooth surface, or fabric over the skin of a swimmer to reduce friction.
