This is a bad sign. If the water is in the crankcase this can mean that the head gasget has been blown and the water has leaked into places it should not go. Do not drive this vehicle until the problem is fixed.
Oil is thicker than water because oil has larger molecules that are more tightly packed together compared to water. This makes oil more viscous and resistant to flow compared to water.
Water and motor oil are immiscible because they have different polarities. Water is a polar molecule, while motor oil is nonpolar. This difference in polarity prevents water from dissolving motor oil.
It rises in water Source(s) - i did that for my science project in 5th grade ADDED: It does indeed, ending up floating on the water's surface because oil is less dense than water.
Water is faster by it's lower viscosity, though oil viscosity is more temperature dependent than that of water.
Motor oil heats faster than water, as water has one of the highest specific heat capacities. (It takes more energy to increase the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 °C than to increase the temperature of 1 kg of oil by 1°C)
Motor oil will float on water. That makes water denser.
Gear lube is thicker than both ATF and motor oil.Gear lube is thicker than both ATF and motor oil.
Oil is thicker than water because oil has larger molecules that are more tightly packed together compared to water. This makes oil more viscous and resistant to flow compared to water.
Crankcase or motor oil is thicker than transmission oil. That's one difference, there may be more (other than color)
Becaus oil is thicker and heavier than water
No. Oil is a thicker liquid than water, although it is lighter than it and floats on top of it.
not much. it would change the viscosity of the oil. the diesel oil is much thicker than regular engine oil.
the oil is thicker than water. if there's no water, no oil.
when motor oil is heated it viscotity rises and becomes thicker
Yes, Lucas Oil Stabilizer is thicker than 60 motor oil. It is designed to provide additional viscosity and enhance the performance of motor oils, especially in high-performance or older engines. The stabilizer has a higher viscosity rating, which helps reduce friction and wear, making it suitable for applications where extra protection is needed.
Cooking oil has a semi-thick viscosity. It is thicker than water.
Just because something is thicker than something does not mean it is more dense. Coconut oil may be more viscous than water, but it is less dense. Perhaps because of the strong hydrogen bonding in water, more mass is able to be packed per unit volume than in coconut oil.
