Good Wear Protection and Friction Reduction

Frictional losses will lead to a reduction of engine power and efficiency. An appropriate engine oil will minimize frictional losses. Excessive wear will lead to a reduction in service life (e. g. wear of bearings, piston rings, cam lobes) or to mechanical failure.
