2. Break-in (mechanical run-in) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break-in_(mechanical_run-in)

   In the past, the engine break-in period was very important to the overall life and durability of the engine. The break-in period required has changed over the years with improved piston ring materials and designs. In reference to small engines, the break-in period now (5–10 hours) is short in comparison with that of engines of the past.

3. Motor oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil

   Motor oil, engine oil, or engine lubricant is any one of various substances used for the lubrication of internal combustion engines. They typically consist of base oils enhanced with various additives, particularly antiwear additives , detergents, dispersants , and, for multi-grade oils, viscosity index improvers .

4. Oil additive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_additive

   Although PTFE has been called "the slickest substance known to man", [15] [16] it would hardly do any good if it remains in the oil filter. Some mass-market engine oil additives, notably the ones containing PTFE/Teflon (e.g. Slick 50) [17] and chlorinated paraffins (e.g. Dura Lube), [18] caused a major backlash by consumers; the U.S. Federal ...

5. Brake fluid - Wikipedia

   The advantage of the Citroën LHM mineral oil based brake fluid is the absence of corrosion. Seals may wear out at high mileages but otherwise these systems have exceptional longevity. It cannot be used as a substitute without changing seals due to incompatibility with the rubber. [16] [user-generated source]

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total-loss_oiling_system

   Later systems collect oil in a sump, from where it can be collected and pumped around the engine again, usually after rudimentary filtering. This system has long been the norm for larger internal combustion engines. A pumped oil system can use higher oil pressures and so makes the use of hydrostatic bearings easier. These gave a greater load ...

9. Engine braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_braking

   Diesel engines in personal cars provide little engine braking as they are not equipped with a throttle body and thus cannot draw a vacuum in the intake manifold. In heavy vehicles the engine is often made to provide extra braking power to take some strain off the vehicle's regular brake system and to help avoid overheating the brakes.
