Abstract: The role of internal combustion engines in automobile industry has already been well recognised. It is made with closer precisions thus involve higher costs and also, it is crucial to ensure efficient working of its various components. Engine oil of specific grades is used for reducing wear and tear of components and cooling of parts of the engine. Choice of appropriate engine oil for engines is critical task for designers. Designers need to identify oils with specific properties and functionalities in order to fulfil end requirements and desired functionalities of the engine. The different oils possess different properties. Systematic approach must be used for selection of oil.
