A Study on the Engine Oil Life for Small Size Single Cylinder Engine.

단기통 소형 엔진의 엔진오일 수명에 관한 연구

The engine oil life was examined experimentally for small size single cylinder engines. This study was conducted in the laboratory. An Eddy Current type engine dynamometer was used with a motorcycle and a cultivator engine. Physical and chemical properties of used oil was analyzed to examine the oil life. Flushed oil was used for the reference instead of the new oil. It were found that deterioration of dynamic viscosity and anti-wear property of engine oil was due to dilution by fuel not depletion of ZDTP.
