Abstract:Successful low-temperature operation of engines depends on the lubricant being able to flow to the oil pump. ASTM D5133, Standard Test Method for Low Temperature, Low Shear Rate, Viscosity/Temperature Dependence of Lubricating Oils Using a Temperature-Scanning Technique, is one of two tests the industry uses to assess whether the engine’s oil pump will be able to lift the lubricant from the sump at low temperatures. This test method requires several distinct steps to accomplish the required thermal conditionin… Show more
