Cold Temperature, Oil Viscosity and Filter Restriction
Engineering Reference · Lube/Oil Protection Systems
Technology: SYNTRAX™
Engineering Relationships
- Lower lubricant temperature generally increases viscosity, which can increase resistance to flow during cold-start conditions.
- Cold-start flow demand can increase pressure differential across the filter and make correct application-specific flow and bypass characteristics important.
