Like other lubricants, oils play a crucial role in providing the space needed to separate moving parts. In addition, the lubricants ensure the suspension and transport of contaminants, neutralize corrosive acids, protect surfaces likely to wear, ensure heat dissipation, and provide the performance and increasing performance characteristics of industrial equipment and beyond. During use, lubricating oils undergo several chemical transformations due to oxidation at high temperatures (regime temperatures) due to degradation and contamination, water, ethylene glycol, coolants, waste residues. Finally, oils reach a lifetime due to a wide variety of degradation mechanisms, which lead to increased oxidation and nitration, base depletion, acid build-up, water contamination, cooling fluids, and viscosity changes.
