Abstract

In this paper, in order to solve challenges in the field of energy and fuel using a fully practical approach, types of engine oils and advantages of each over the other are discussed. A suitable car engine oil and its reasons are addressed. The viscosity of the engine oil is studied. A suitable car engine oil for cold and tropical regions of Iran is introduced. The standard classification of engine and gear oils in terms of viscosity is another topic discussed in this paper. Burning oil of Iranian cars, its reasons, identification methods and reduction strategies in accordance with domestic standards are described. Finally, plant-based engine oils, their applications, advantages and disadvantages, native challenges in this field and its complementary topics of the environmental aspect are provided in the present study.
