Modelling the impact of reducing lubricant viscosity on a conventional passenger car fuel economy and wear protection

This study explores how reducing lubricant viscosity affects fuel economy in passenger cars through experimental characterization and semi-predictive modelling. Thus, three engine oils (0W-20, 5W-30, and 5W-40) were tested for their rheological and tribological properties. Data were introduced into...
