2. Crankcase ventilation system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_ventilation_system

   Crankcase ventilation system. A crankcase ventilation system (CVS) removes unwanted gases from the crankcase of an internal combustion engine. The system usually consists of a tube, a one-way valve and a vacuum source (such as the inlet manifold). The unwanted gases, called "blow-by", are gases from the combustion chamber which have leaked past ...

3. Oil sludge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_sludge

   Oil sludge. Oil sludge or black sludge is a gel -like or semi-solid deposit inside an internal combustion engine, that can create a catastrophic buildup. It is often the result of contaminated engine oil and occurs when moisture and/or high heat is introduced to engine oil.

4. Oil additive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_additive

   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]

5. Motor oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil

   Motor oil is a lubricant used in internal combustion engines, which power cars, motorcycles, lawnmowers, engine-generators, and many other machines. In engines, there are parts which move against each other, and the friction between the parts wastes otherwise useful power by converting kinetic energy into heat.

6. Sodium silicate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_silicate

   Sodium silicate solution is used to inexpensively, quickly, and permanently disable automobile engines. Running an engine with half a U.S. gallon (or about two liters) of a sodium silicate solution instead of motor oil causes the solution to precipitate, catastrophically damaging the engine's bearings and pistons within a few minutes. [28]

7. Oil purification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_Purification

   Filtration is a partial removal of solid particles through filter medium. Oil filtration systems generally use a multistage filtration with coarse and fine filters. [2] Centrifugation is separation of oil and water, or oil and solid particles by centrifugal forces. Vacuum treatment degasses and dehydrates industrial oil.
