How does an oil

All base oils film strength will shear under stress or pressure. The real way to help prevent wear is to maintain levels of antiwear additives This, in conjunction with a good a good base stock which resists breakdown to high heat and robust additive package

Here is some short videos on how I use the timken machine to do personal evaluations on barrier lube properties . This is only one property of the oil we are demonstrating here and would advise you to look at all technical data before choosing your oil. Please excuse the ah's and poor articulation as all these videos are done while just thinking out loud. These are not a scientific test and is for educational purposes about barrier additives and are not to make a determination of the quality of any given oil with out doing analysis on the total blend.

It's best to view the Timken Basics first so to further understand the principles of what I'm showing here.

BASE OIL HEAT AND ACID TESTS

As stated before, This is only one property of the oil that we are demonstrating here and would advise that you look at all technical data before choosing your oil. This is not a scientific test and is for educational purposes.

On this video, we took some standard off the shelf's oils and put 2cc's of each oil in test tubes. Since noack volatility is already known by the tech sheets we decided to put 1 drop of sulfuric acid in each to somewhat represent the acids that are produced by an engine that attacks the base oil. Although this is more likely more acid than actually produced in relation to the amount of oil used in this test, I think it does bring out some interesting results.
