    Lubrication Film Thickness: Proper viscosity ensures an adequate film to prevent metal contact.
    Flow Characteristics: Oil must flow easily to reach all lubrication points.
    Heat Dissipation: Appropriate viscosity aids in efficient heat transfer.
    Incorrect viscosity can lead to inadequate lubrication, increased friction, and potential equipment failure.
