What is Friction
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• Friction - resistance to movement between two
  objects
• amount of friction depends on the following,
  material, surface finish, amount of pressure
  holding the two together, how fast they move

3
What is Friction
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• friction generates heat
• dry friction - both parts clean and free of other
  materials
• wet friction - parts have another material placed
  between them such as oil

4
Bearing construction
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• friction - sliding friction - two smooth surfaces
  sliding against each other
• half speed bearing - turbos
• anti friction - rolling friction - uses balls or
  rollers or small needles between the moving parts

5
Bearing construction
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• ball roller
  needle

4 Jobs of Oil
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• Cleans - Cools - Seals -Lubricates -

7
Bearing Clearance
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• Oil is pumped to the bearing and separates the
  parts. It allows the parts to turn without
  touching each other. When parts touch they will
  be destroyed.
• bearing clearance average about .002

8
How to lubricate a engine
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• engines lubricated three ways for a 4-stroke
  engine
• Full pressure
• Splash
• Combination - splash and pressure- most common
  in automotive applications

9
Full pressure
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• bearings are oiled by pumping oil to the
  bearings, sometimes the oil is dripped on or is
  squirted on to parts

10
Splash
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• use of dippers on connecting rods to splash oil
  around (one cylinder engines) or dripping oil on
  the engine parts

11
Combination
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• both systems used- splash and pressure -
• other methodstwo cycles mix gas and oilcould
  be premix or a oil injection system

12
Oil galleries and lines
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• Oil gallery - oil supply line in engine
• oil is carried through the engine by these lines
• some rods are drilled full lengths some have
  squirt holes

13
Oil filters
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS
14
Oil filters
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• most common materialspaper and cotton waste
• canister - old style
• spin on

15
Filtering Systems
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• two types of filtering systems
• full flow, all oil is filtered before going to
  bearings, filter has relief valve in case of
  plugged filter
• bypass filter, part of oil is being filter at all
  times but not before it is going to the bearings

16
Oil pumps
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• gear, rotary, vane and plunger
• most common automotive engine
• gear and rotary

17
Gear
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• two gears mesh together forcing oil out

18
Rotary
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• inner rotor and outer rotor 4 points fit inside 5
  points

19
Vane
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• used as pump in some automatic transmissions(this
  one, a vane pump out of a air wrench)

20
Plunger
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• used a lot in one cylinder engines

21
Pick up tube and screen
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS
22
Pressure Relief Valve
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• when oil pump develops too much pressure the
  Pressure Relief valve will open and allows to
  return to sump by changing spring tension
  pressure can be raised or lowered

23
Oil sludge
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• Black thick Goomixture of water oil dirt usually
  formed in engines never reaching operating
  temperature - thermostat taken out or to many
  short tripsformation of a white sludge - caused
  by, cold weather, short trips, too much water

24
Varnish or lacquer
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• usually known as engine varnish is formed from an
  engine running at hot temperature for extended
  periods - the heat causes the oil to break down
  and a varnish is created on valve covers and
  other parts to avoid varnish deposits use good
  clean oil and change regularly

Light brown coating is Varnish
25
Additives in oil
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• detergent - prevent sludge and varnish deposits
• foam inhibitors - prevent oil from
  foamingoxidation inhibitors - prevent oil
  oxidation at high speed

26
Additives in oil
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• corrosion rust inhibitors - helps prevent these
• anti wear additives - coat metal surfaces with a
  strong slippery film moly graphite

27
crankcase ventilation
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• draft tube
• positive crankcase ventilation

28
open - draft tube
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• Older engines use a draft tube to vent the
  crankcase. It is just a vent with a filter in
  it. Uses a Breather cap to allow air in.

29
PCV - positive crankcase
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• open - breather cap
• closedgoes from air cleaner to valve cover

30
wet and dry sump systems
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS
31
windage tray
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• Bolt to bottom of engine prevent oil from foaming
  due to crankshaft rotation.

32
Oil viscosity
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• thickness or fluidity of the oil, oil's ability
  to resist flow
• classified as a number such as 10,20,30,40
• multi grade or multi viscosity 5w-30, 10w-30

33
service ratingsgo through handout
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• Go to this web site and read the classifications

  s/Sclass.htm

34
how often should oil be changed,filter?
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• 1,000 - 7,500 average
• About every 3,000 - 4,000 miles recommended
• depends on length of operation, temperature of
  air and car. Condition of all filters - air, oil
  gas -, PCV valve, driving conditions, paved
  roads, and dust or dirt in the air.

35
what kind of oil should I buy ???
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS
36
What kind of filter should I buy????
P H S A U T O M O T I V E S ALS

• Some companies spent a lot of money on
  advertising and very little on filters, some just
  build good filters. Your choose, cut some apart
  and look for yourself.
