💭 Think About

• Think about what would happen to metal parts if the lubricating oil contained acid or oxidized rapidly. • Consider whether it is desirable for lubricating oil to mix easily with water, or to stay separated from it. • Ask yourself why manufacturers often put additives in lubricating oils—are they usually helpful or harmful to performance?

✅ Before You Answer
