Q

Which of the additives listed will maintain the suspension of fine residue particles in lube oil?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Lube oil additives and their purposes (what does each type do to contaminants?) • Difference between keeping particles suspended vs making them settle out or clump together • What the term floc point usually describes in relation to oil and waxes

💭 Think About

• For each choice, ask: does this additive help particles stay evenly mixed in the oil, or does it encourage clumping/settling? • Think about what you want from an engine lube oil system: do you want fine residue to stay in suspension until filtration, or to separate quickly? • Consider where you have heard the term "dispersant" used before in relation to oil and contaminants.

✅ Before You Answer

• Match each term to its correct technical function in lubrication (not just what it sounds like in everyday language). • Verify which function specifically aims to break up or prevent agglomeration of small particles in a fluid. • Check if floc point is actually an additive or a property/test of the oil.
