Viscosity: Determines the oil’s flow characteristics and its ability to form a lubricating film.
Oxidation Stability: Resistance to chemical breakdown at high temperatures.
Thermal Stability: Ability to maintain performance under temperature variations.
Demulsibility: Capacity to separate from water, preventing emulsions.
Foam Resistance: Prevents foam formation that can impede lubrication.
Corrosion Protection: Inhibits rust and corrosion on metal surfaces.
Air Release Properties: Allows entrained air to escape, avoiding cavitation.
These properties collectively ensure the oil performs effectively under operational stresses.
