  2. Pour point depressant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pour_point_depressant

    If the concentration of pour point depressant is too high, there may be a visible effect on viscosity at higher temperatures. [2] Pour point depressants are only effective on refined oils. Non-refined oils contain polyaromatic hydrocarbons and resins which act as antagonists against synthetic pour point depressants.

  3. Wax motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_motor

    A wax motor is a linear actuator device that converts thermal energy into mechanical energy by exploiting the phase-change behaviour of waxes. [1] During melting, wax typically expands in volume by 5–20% ( Freund et al. 1982 ).

  4. Wax thermostatic element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_thermostatic_element

    The wax is solid at low temperatures, and as the engine heats up, the wax melts and expands. The sealed chamber operates a rod which opens a valve when the operating temperature is exceeded. The operating temperature is fixed, but is determined by the specific composition of the wax, so thermostats of this type are available to maintain ...

  5. Oil additive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_additive

    A formulated oil will often have KOH (potassium hydroxide), a strong base, in small amounts, as it is an effective neutralizer used in refining petroleum. [5] Additives that perform a similar function in a motor oil include magnesium and calcium sulphonates, salicylates, and phenates. [4] These are the detergent additives mentioned previously.

  6. Motor oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil

    Today, motor oil in the US is generally sold in bottles of one U.S. quart (950 mL) and on a rarity in one-liter (33.8 U.S. fl oz) as well as in larger plastic containers ranging from approximately 4.4 to 5 liters (4.6 to 5.3 U.S. qt) due to most small to mid-size engines requiring around 3.6 to 5.2 liters (3.8 to 5.5 U.S. qt) of engine oil.

  7. Top Tier Detergent Gasoline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Tier_Detergent_Gasoline

    Westside Autos in Clive, Iowa, and Motor Age columnist Larry Hammer also recommend Top Tier for removing carbon build-up, adding that a cleaner engine will also burn fuel more cleanly and therefore produce less emissions. [28] Automotive mechanics instructor Jim Kerr concurs: "All gasoline is not created equal . . . Top Tier does have benefits ...

  8. Small engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_engine

    Briggs & Stratton Vanguard V-twin engine in a portable generator. A small engine is the general term for a wide range of small-displacement, low-powered internal combustion engines used to power lawn mowers, generators, concrete mixers and many other machines that require independent power sources. [1]

  9. Base oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_oil

    Different products require different compositions and properties in the oil. One of the most important factors is the liquid’s viscosity at various temperatures. Whether or not a crude oil is suitable to be made into a base oil is determined by the concentration of base oil molecules as well as how easily these can be extracted.
