Moving parts in an engine are generally metal on metal and in a car engine everything fits very snugly to eliminate knocking and engine rattle, but this causes extreme friction between the metal surfaces.
if you were to run your car without oil, much of the power would be lost to friction and eventually the metals will melt and fuse due to the intense heat and friction. oil serves and a lubricating coat covering most moving engine parts (where metal on metal friction is concerned) so that the metal only has the friction of the oil to cope with, which is negligible.
Overall it ruduces running heat, engine wear and increases efficiency, engine life and performance.

What do floor scrubbers clean off the floor?
Floor scrubbers, particularly automatic ones, are usually not designed for general consumer use. They mainly clean light debris, dust, oil and grease off floors.
How many grades of fuel oil are normally considered?
Fuel oil is typically classified into several grades, with the most common being No. 1, No. 2, No. 4, No. 5, and No. 6. No. 1 and No. 2 are lighter, used primarily for residential heating and diesel engines, while No. 4, No. 5, and No. 6 are heavier oils used in industrial applications and marine engines. The classification can vary by region and specific use, but these grades generally encompass the spectrum of fuel oils available.
Can only engines have power?
No, engines aren't the only things that has power. Anyone or anything can have power if they do work. Power is how quickly work is done and anyone can use power even if it isn't am engine
What are some non examples of electric motor?
Non-examples of electric motors include mechanical devices that do not use electricity for power, such as a manual hand-cranked winch or a steam engine. Additionally, devices that use alternative sources of energy, like a windmill or a water wheel, are also not examples of electric motors. Finally, devices that convert energy in a different way, such as a pulley system or a hydraulic motor, are not considered electric motors.
Can you use baby oil on metal... aka shotgun?
You are better off using gun oil, or at least a machine oil like sewing machine oil. Vegetable oil kind of smells, olive oil works better, but these organic oils are not as desirable as gun oil. You can use baby oil in a pinch, for a few months at a time. It is better than nothing, but you should wipe it down and replace it with a decent gun oil when you have a chance.
Why do engines use oil and grease?
oil and grease is used in vehicles to reduce friction.
Why do motors use oil and grease?
For lubrication. To reduce friction and heat buildup which would quickly damage the engine otherwise.
Is sae 30 non-detergent oil the same as motor oil for a car?
No. Do not use in your car. It is for use in some lawn mowers and aircompressor motors.
What did the Greeks use for grease and cooking oil and as a spread?
olive oil
What kind of oil do you use in a seagull motors leg?
Olive oil.
Which oil to use for a Briggs and stratton engine 4 cycle vs 2 cycle oil?
4 cycle! Automobiles are 4 stroke engines. chain saws snowmobiles and leaf blowers are examples of 2 stroke engines. If engine has an oil pan, or oil filter, it is a 4 stroke. if it does not have an oil pan, it is 2 stroke. Briggs and Stratton are 4 stroke motors.
What kind of oil do you put in the shaft of your weed eater?
You don't use oil, you use grease
What motor do they use in railway engines for traction?
electric motors
What can you use instead of bore oil?
Cork grease. :)
Do I use Oil or grease for a dodge Dakota door hinge?
Oil would penetrate better, but I'd use either wd-40 or white lithium grease.
What are all the types of car engines?
all car engines are internal combustion most car engines are Reciprocating piston some mazdas use wankel rotary engines hybrids use reciprocating piston engines in combination with electric motors
Why do motors use oil?
so the car engine will perform using oil.
