Motor oil

Motor oil is a type of liquid oil used for lubrication by various kinds of motors, especially internal combustion engines. Other benefits from using motor oil include cooling by carrying heat away from moving engine parts and often include cleaning and corrosion inhibition in internal combustion engines. The major fraction of the majority of motor oils is derived from crude oil (see Petroleum).

Motor oil is used as a lubricant in various kinds of internal combustion engines in automobiles, boats, lawn mowers, trains, airplanes, etc. In engines there are contacting parts which move against each other at high speeds, often for prolonged periods of time. Such rubbing motion causes friction, absorbing otherwise useful power produced by the motor and converting the energy to useless heat. Friction also wears away the contacting surfaces of those parts, which could lead to lower efficiency and wearing out of the motor.

Oil: Oil is a generic term for organic liquids that are not miscible with water. The name comes from Latin oleum (olive oil)....
