Automobile engines should be used more effective to
enable a longer service life. Important factors such as
appropriate cycle range, engine oil selection, regular
maintenance of the vehicle, etc. affect the engine life.
Usage of the suitable oil extends the service life of the
engine and provides better fuel-air combustion by partially
preventing the wear of moving parts. In this research,
engine of a Fiat branded Palio model automobile was
designated as the test engine. Effects of Mobil 1TM ESP
0W-40 type engine oil which is stated in the manual of the
vehicle and Mobil SuperTM 2000 X1 10W-40 type engine
oil on the wear of piston-cylinder were investigated. Test
engine was operated for 144 h at 3000, 4000 and 5000 rpm
for both of the engine oils and wear amount of the inner
surface of the cylinder was measured by using a
comparator set and micrometer. There has been
considerable work to determine the engine oil type which
exhibits a more efficient usage considering the wear
amounts. According to the results, it was observed that
Mobil 1TM ESP 0W-40 type engine oil yields to less wear in
the cylinders and helps the engine to improve its working
performance.
