  2. Oil pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pressure

    Murphy oil pressure gauges with switches that activate on low pressure. Oil pressure is an important factor in the longevity of most internal combustion engines. [1] With a forced lubrication system (invented by Frederick Lanchester), oil is picked up by a positive displacement oil pump and forced through oil galleries (passageways) into bearings, such as the main bearings, big end bearings ...

  3. Oil additive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_additive

    Oil additives are chemical compounds that improve the lubricant performance of base oil (or oil "base stock"). The manufacturer of many oils can use the same base stock for each formulation and can choose different additives for each use. Additives comprise up to 5% by weight of some oils. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pump_(internal...

    Too much oil pressure can create unnecessary work for the engine and even add air into the system. To ensure that the oil pressure does not exceed the rated maximum, once pressure exceeds a preset limit a spring-loaded pressure relief valve dumps excess pressure either to the suction side of the pump, or directly back to the oil pan or tank.

    GM ATF was the same color as engine oil through 1967. Aftermarket ATF was available with red dye as an aid in fluid leak detection. Dexron (B) was the first GM ATF to require red dye. [citation needed] From the 1940s through the early 1970s, ATF contained whale oil as a rust and corrosion inhibitor. [11]

  6. Extreme pressure additive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_pressure_additive

    Oil-soluble organophosphates, with or without zinc, have excellent high-pressure and antiwear properties, and provide corrosion protection especially in presence of chlorinated hydrocarbons. Zinc dialkyldithiophosphates (ZDDP) start decomposing at 130-170 °C, while the activation temperature of tricresyl phosphate (TCP) typically exceeds 200 ...

  7. Detroit Diesel V8 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit_Diesel_V8_engine

    Oil Cooler Line Failure: Stock 1990s GM oil cooler lines are held together by a C-clip at the engine block and since the engine has no low oil pressure shutoff switch, if one clip fails, the engine loses its oil and seizes. Aftermarket oil cooler lines that utilize compression fittings rectify this.
