Abstract

The article analyzes the influence of the oxidation process of motor oils on the operation of the engine. The main reason leading tothe formation of high-temperature deposits in engines are oxidation processes occurring in thevolume of the oil and on the metal surface. These deposits negatively affect the reliability, efficiency, and durability of the engine. Among the numerous properties on which the assessment of the quality of lubricants based on antioxidant properties are important. Therefore, wesuggested introducing detergent additives into the engine oil. The action of such additives gives the ability to loosen, wash away deposits from the surface of parts, and transfer insoluble substances into suspension. The results of laboratory studies of samples of industrial oils and samples with the addition of new additives and recommendations for their use are presented.
