Common Properties of Lubricants that Affect Vehicle Fuel Efficiency: A North American Historical Perspective
The development of advanced lubricants to improve vehicle fuel efficiency can appear to be as simple as lowering the viscosity and frictional properties of a fluid. However, applied research studies have shown that it is quite difficult to quantify the fuel efficiency properties of advanced lubrican...
