🔍 Key Concepts

• Viscosity and temperature effects on oil flow and contaminant suspension • Purpose of flushing a governor oil system before refilling • Why lighter vs heavier oil grades behave differently in small internal passages

💭 Think About

• Think about whether hot or cold oil will drain more completely and carry away more suspended particles from inside the governor housing. • Consider what kind of oil (lighter or heavier) will flow more easily through small clearances to rinse out old oil and debris during a flush. • Ask yourself: in general machinery practice, when technicians change lubricating oil, do they usually warm the system up first or keep it cold? Why?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which condition (hot vs cold) gives lower viscosity and better draining of contaminants. • Confirm whether a lighter grade or heavier grade of the same oil type will more effectively flush small passages. • Check that the chosen procedure matches standard maintenance practice for flushing precision hydraulic or governor components, not just large engine sumps.
