2. Motor oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil

   Using a funnel to assist with a motor oil refill. In petrol (gasoline) engines, the top piston ring can expose the motor oil to temperatures of 160 °C (320 °F). In diesel engines, the top ring can expose the oil to temperatures over 315 °C (600 °F). Motor oils with higher viscosity indices thin less at these higher temperatures. [5]

3. Shell Rotella - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_Rotella

   Likewise with motorcycles, though marketed as an engine oil for diesel trucks, Rotella T6 5W-40 synthetic oil has also found popularity with drivers and tuners of gasoline powered vehicles that utilize turbocharging or other forms of forced induction. Several owners of high performance model cars have adopted its use due to its high heat ...

4. Oil pump (internal combustion engine) - Wikipedia

   Also, to free up power, some engines in performance applications run lower weight oil, which requires less power to run the oil pump. Common oil weights in engines today are usually either 5W-30 or 10W-30 oil, whereas performance engines might use 0W-20 oil, which is less viscous. [8]

5. SAE J300 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_J300

   The oil fails the test at a particular temperature if the oil is too viscous. The grade of the oil is that associated with the coldest temperature at which the oil passes the test. For example, if an oil passes at the specified temperatures for 10W and 5W, but fails at the 0W temperature, the oil is grade 5W. It cannot be labeled 0W or 10W.

6. Diesel fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_fuel

   The first diesel engine prototype and the first functional Diesel engine were only designed for liquid fuels. [8] At first, Diesel tested crude oil from Pechelbronn, but soon replaced it with petrol and kerosene, because crude oil proved to be too viscous, [9] with the main testing fuel for the Diesel engine being kerosene . [10]

7. Royal Purple (lubricant manufacturer) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Purple_(lubricant...

   The company was founded in 1986 by John Williams, a synthetic oil developer and later consultant. Due to a customer who said he had never seen purple oil, Williams named the product Royal Purple. [6] Producing synthetic oil using its own additives, [7] the company grew and in 2004 completed a 125,000 square foot production facility in Porter ...
