How do Lubricants Function?

The metal parts of your engine suffer the effects of friction as they rub together. This generates heat and leads to premature wear and tear. The lubricant helps to reduce the effects of friction between the moving parts. As a result, they wear out more slowly and do not heat up. The right engine oil reduces the amount of friction, which improves the performance of the engine and also reduces its fuel consumption. But that's not all. Your lubricant protects your engine against corrosion and acid attacks. It also helps to reduce the temperature of your engine.
