Why The Viscosity Of A Lubricant Decreases With Increase In Temperature? The increase in temperature causes the kinetic or thermal energy to increase and the molecules become more mobile. The attractive binding energy is reduced and therefore the viscosity is reduced. How does temperature affect oil? Viscosity of Motor Oil Motor oil includes additives developed

What Happen With The Lubricant Molecules As You Increase The Temperature? When a lubricant’s temperature rises, molecules in the fluid become hyperactive as gas is released and lighter parts of the fluid vaporize. This can permanently damage operating components.
