Nitration: The Acid You Didn’t See Coming The third article in WearCheck’s series “When Good Oils Go Bad” features a discussion around nitration. Nitration is far less talked about than oxidation, yet in many engines, it is just as destructive and often more insidious. Unlike oxidation, which is driven by oxygen, nitration is the result of a lubricant reacting with nitrogen oxides (NOx) that are formed during combustion. These gases are produced under the intense heat and pressure inside the combustion chamber and find their way into the oil through… Read More Here

Part 1 – Oils don’t die, they degrade There are certain things in life that improve with age. Wine and whisky develop deeper, more complex flavours. Bonsai trees mature into highly valued works of art and even acoustic guitars and violins are said to improve in tone as the wood ages and the instrument opens up. Unfortunately, the list of things that don’t improve with time is far longer. Our physical health declines, sometimes along with our sense of humour. Metals corrode, paint fades and, perhaps less romantically but more… Read More Here

When Good Oils Go Bad Part 2

Oxidation: When Oil Gets Old Oxidation – the focus of part 2 of WearCheck’s “When Good Oils Go Bad” series – is one of the most common chemical reactions we encounter in everyday life. It occurs when fuel burns, when steel rusts, when wounds are cleaned with hydrogen peroxide and even when a cut apple turns brown. In lubricating oils, oxidation is no less familiar and no less damaging. Put simply, oxidation is the chemical reaction between a lubricant and oxygen. Over time, this reaction alters the oil’s chemistry, leading… Read More Here
