Low-Temperature Oil Pumpability Investigations in a 6.2L Diesel Engine

Abstract

Low-temperature engine oil pumpability investigations were conducted in a 6.2L diesel engine. The engine was installed in a cold box chamber, and investigations were conducted at temperatures as low as -33 deg. Oil pumpability times were measured. Borderilne oil pumpability temperatures were defined for various petroleum and synthetc engine oils. The effects of soot in used engine oil on oil pumpability was determined.
