Analytical Method for Determining the Viscosity Index of Engine Lubricating Oils

This paper proposes a simple analytical method for determining the viscosity index (<i>VI</i>) that effectively aligns with results obtained from the applicable standards. This method simply needs the kinematic viscosity of the tested oil at 40 and 100 °C as input parameters and does not...
