It lubricates. The FAA states that oil is the primary cooling element internally in the engine. It lubricates the moving parts that contact each other and allows heat to be dissipated away from these systems and components. Low oil can cause issues while still lubricating by not removing enough heat from these components.

What is diesel oil?
"Diesel oil" or "Heavy oil" is another term for diesel fuel. Not to be confused with "engine oil for a diesel engine" which means lubricating oil specially formulated for use in diesel rather than petrol engines.
Can a diesel engine run on hydrogen alone?
no diesel engines run on diesel or bio diesel or refined vegetable oil..
Can you run synthetic diesel oil in a gas engine?
Yes, you can run synthetic diesel oil in a gas engine, but it is not recommended. Diesel oil is formulated with additives designed for diesel engines, which operate under different conditions than gasoline engines. Using diesel oil in a gas engine could lead to improper lubrication and potential engine damage over time. It's best to use oil specifically designed for gasoline engines to ensure optimal performance and protection.
Can you mix diesel oil with non diesel oil?
I am not sure what you are asking but putting oil for diesel engines in a gasoline engine with some oil in it would not be good, or vise versa
Can vegetable oil be used as fuel for a diesel engine?
Diesel engines can be operated with 'biofuel' with the proper adjustments.
What happens if you use gasoline oil in a diesel engine?
There is not a whole lot of difference if you are using the oil in an older diesel engine. The diesel oil of today has special additives to combat the soot buildup in the oil from the EGR. The diesel oil will get dirty a lot sooner on the late model engines. A 15w40 for a gas engine can be used in a diesel.
What is The API C classification for lubricating oils pertains to which type of engines?
The C classification of oil is for diesel engines.
Can you use synthetic oil in a diesel engine?
There are available many semi- and fully-synthetic oils which are formulated for diesel engines.
Can you put amsoil in 7.3 liter diesel engine?
You need to make sure that it's oil specifically for diesel engines.
Can petrol engine oil be used for a diesel engine?
No it cannot. Petrol and Diesel are different.
What is the difference in how a normal car engine and a diesel car engine in how they work?
diesel engines compress the fuel mixture much more than gasoline engines, diesel engines are always fuel injected while gasoline engines have the option of being carbureted, diesel engines usually cost more, diesels produce more power than a comparable gasoline engine, diesel engines have no distributor or spark system, and instead use glow plugs to ignite fuel, and diesel engines can be converted to run on vegetable oil with few modifications.
Which engine is more efficient diesel engine or gasoline engine?
Diesel engines are more efficient than gasoline engines.
