The purpose of this paper is to study the mechanism of sludge formation by use of a laboratory scale sludge simulator and to propose a new method to evaluate engine oil dispersancy. The simulator ...

THE bulk of low-temperature gasoline engine sludge is formed from the fuel rather than the lubricant, according to tests performed by the authors. Their tests indicate that most of this sludge is ...

Over the decades, new technologies have reduced the needs of automotive maintenance. Grease jobs for chassis lubrication are a thing of the past. So are tuneups. Spark-plug changes are as long as ...
