Controlling Foam in Oil
|
|
|
From "Automotive Lubricants and Testing":
The polar nature of engine oil additives gives rise to their foam-stabilizing properties. The splashing action or the mechanical agitation, or both, of the crankcase oil during engine operation causes air and other vapors to be whipped around, resulting in foam generation. In extreme cases, the oil actually can be lost because of the foam. The entrainment of the air in the oil can also decrease the ability of the oil to provide an effective hydrodynamic lubricating film because of the air bubbles that compromise the integrity of the film.
