Different Oil Consumption Source/Total Consumption

Paper (someone else's work), including one of my favourite authors.

The Contribution of Different Oil Consumption Sources to Total Oil Consumption in a Spark Ignition Engine

http://ftp.astmtmc.cmu.edu/docs/gas/emissions_task_force/minutes/20060504/sae2004-01-2909.pdf

Has some interesting P.O.V. to some of the current discussions.

seems I have this already in my download list. Sure it's not a repost?

Figure 26. Effect of engine load on different oil
consumption sources and on total oil consumption
at 3500 rpm for the baseline oil

that's an interesting one...

loss of oil via transport goes down if load goes up, but evaporation and blowby losses go up more...

Low Noack oils seem paramount to counter those effects
