Higher viscosity of lubricating oil usually signifies_______________________?

Correct answer: C. Higher flash point and fire point

  • A. Lower Reid vapour pressure
  • B. Higher acid number
  • C. Higher flash point and fire point
  • D. Lower flash point and fire point

Explanation

Higher viscosity generally indicates a heavier, less volatile lubricating oil, which requires more heating to produce ignitable vapour. Therefore, its flash point and fire point are usually higher.
