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.
Change the engine oil and filter on a regular basis as required with a quality oil. No need for additives, if the additives were any good the auto manufacturers would recommend it.
the engine will run hot and eventually it will blow on younot true.. if you have no oil in your engine it will not last long enough to overheat... the force of the pistons moving will cause so much friction, add that to the lack of lubrication and your engine will seize up and never work again...
At the radiator or overflow tank. Do not add water, add coolant.
friction is due to the roughness of surfaces.any process which makes the two surfaces in contact smooth can minimize friction.the methods are:by polishingby using ball bearingby using rollers and wheelsby streamliningby lubricatingby creating air cushion
Head gasket has minor leak? Leak is at HOT part of engine and evaporating before it is observed
Setae on an earthworm (an annelid) point backwards to add traction as it moves, especially if it is moving up soil or something. Think of it as hooks, essentially a source of friction, for the generally smooth worm as it moves using peristaltic motion.
all you have to do is add something slippery e.g oil
No, they do not release friction they reduce it. Some friction will always remain in the common modern internal combustion automotive engine. Engine oil additives actually reduce the amount of friction that can be very intense and harmful to a engine, especially when starting from cold. Chemical polymers and agents that make up the engine oil additives are designed and engineered to add a level of extra protection to the standard engine oil. However, a good name brand engine oil, installed into your vehicle with proper weight and viscosity and proper oil manufacturer recommended additives -which are already in motor oil from the manufacturer - is all that is needed. No other additives should be used unless the automobile manufacturer has suggested it's use.
Add a governor to limit the speed of the engine or vehicle.
Friction is cut down in a car engine for two very important reasons. First, cutting down friction increases horsepower. It takes horsepower to overcome friction; so anything that can be done to cut down friction will increase the horsepower. Second, friction causes heat to be produced. Too much heat is bad, because if the engine gets too hot, then metal is softened and weakened, leading to failure of engine parts. The engine has a cooling system to remove unwanted heat, but too much friction would require a larger and more efficient cooling system to remove the excess heat, which would add expense and weight to the car. Motor oil is used to cut down the friction in the car engine. Also, very close tolerances in production of engine parts helps to cut down friction.
No. You use whichever applies: if an object is at rest, you use static friction. If it is moving, you use kinetic friction.
Depends what you want to increase/decrease friction on. If is like a weight on the floor.. Then to increase the friction all you have to do is increase the weight, To reduce it you either reduce the weight or get a smoother surface, or maybe a cloth in-between the floor and the weight.
one way to reduce friction between two surfaces is to add oil. oil fills in the gaps between surfaces , and keeps many of the high spots from making contact. because there are fewer contact points between the surfaces, the force of friction is reduced. more of the input work then is converted to output work by the machine.
Add a lubricant
Decreasing friction:- add a lubricant (like oil in a door hinge)- rolling objects (e.g. rollerblades)- streamlining (like making an aircraft a special shape to reduce wind resistance)Source(s):I have a good memory and listen in school

LubricantsWe can apply lubricants like oil or grease on the moving part of a machine to reduce friction. With less friction, machines can last longer.Rollers and wheelsRollers and wheels reduce friction between the surfaces of objects and the floor. This enables us to move heavy objects with ease.Smoothing and lubrication.there are various methods to reduce friction, like:1. Polishing the surfaces2. Adding lubricants3. increasing the temperature4. wetting the surface5. removing impurities, etc. :)one way to reduce friction is by using oil or grease this makes it smoother and reduces frictionnothing prtroleumIf you put something on wheels it reduces friction. Also if you lubricate a surface the friction will also be reduced.this i dont knowYou can reduce friction by:Adding oil Friction can be reduced by using smooth surfaces, or by lubrication. Things like oil or grease are lubricants, and help things to move past each other easily. You can reduce friction by putting the object on wheels. Also, in machines, you could oil the parts.Grease the interfacing surfacesChange to two materials with lower coefficients of frictionInsert rollers between the two surfaces to change the type of friction involvedChange the applied forces so they tend to point in the same direction (reduce the normal force)ANSWER ITIn which of the following situations or places would you want to reduce the force of friction? A.You are sitting on a park bench.B.You drive your boat through waves.C.Your bedroom door squeaks when you open or close it.D.You are running around a track.THE ANSWER IS B&C ------- APEX (:it ca be reduce by oil1. using grease or any other lubricant 2. using smoother surfaces 3. using fluids of lower viscosity (measure of resistance to flow) 4.Use rollers, wheels or ball bearings and 5.Objects like cars and planes are modelled with streamlined shapes.Lubricate or reduce contact between moving parts (e.g. magnetic levitation).By checking your vehichle dailyBall bearingStream liningPolishingLubricatingincrease its aerodynamics, using lubrication, super-cavitation(if its underwater)The way to reduce friction, is by applying the same force to the same dirrection that gravity is pulling.oil greasesandDon't really know five off the top of my head, but some easy ones are lubricant, soap, polish, and wax, most of these will fill the tiny holes on the surface and make it more smooth.Hope this helps!~M_To reduce friction by making the surface smooth..1> add some lubricant in between the surfaces .2> smoothen the surfaces to a limit .if u smoothen it more then friction will increase .You can reduce friction in a mechanical system by using a lubricant, or by polishing the surfaces that come into contact.As rolling friction is comparatively very low we use ball bearings. Best lubricants could be used to reduce the friction to a greater extent.The following methods are used to reduce frictionthe parts which slide against each other are highly polished.as friction of liquids is less than that of solids,therefore oil or grease is applied between the parts of machinery.sliding friction is converted into rolling friction by use of ball bearings.There are many ways of reducing friction , one of them is lubricating the surfacelubricants and Ball bearingsOil or stuff with a surface.It is reduced by using oil or grease in between themSmooth surfaces and lubrication decrease friction. Appropriate values for the surface energies of the parts reduce friction (for example Teflon and steel)(note that if the surfaces are VERY smooth (we are talking about optical smoothness now) there will be no room for air or lubricants between the surfaces and they can become very difficult to separate!)
Yes but when locating and removing the dipstick be sure to wear protective gloves to reduce risk of burning yourself.
