6 funtions of lubricating oil.
Separating metal surfaces from each other to
- Reduce friction
- Prevent wear
Removes heat from components
Removes contaminant particles from interfaces
works as a hydraulic fluid (in a HLA)
(hmmm... that seems like only 5 to me, and I can't think of another that's not a real stretch of the word "function")

1. Controls friction between load-bearing surfaces
2. Reduces wear by preventing metal-to-metal contact between moving parts
3. Limits the temperature by carrying away heat from fluid friction and combustion of fuel
4. Reduces corrosion by coating metal parts and by flushing debris from in between moving parts
(5. Dampers mechanical shock in gears)
6. Forms a seal on the walls of the cylinders
ivymike1031 - two thumbs up
and your homework is done.......
