Since I posted this list on the other forum I started to have questions about what it all really means.
No tribology graduate here but interested in learning and how it all works.
Am I understanding this correctly that if the final product contains higher content of VII also referred to as VM that said product is more susceptible to aging by mechanical shearing and therefore subject to more frequent OCI due to VM's being sensitive to shearing which disrupts the molecular chain?
On the other hand. Is the final product with lowest amount of VII less susceptible to mechanical shearing and therefore OCI could be extended compare to above?
Is the higher content of VII needed due to lesser quality of base oil and vice versa?
