Viscosity index of a lubricating oil_________________?

Correct answer: B. Is the measure of variation of viscosity with temperature

  • A. Is the measure of its flash point
  • B. Is the measure of variation of viscosity with temperature
  • C. Should be low
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Viscosity index expresses how strongly an oil’s viscosity changes with temperature. A high index is desirable because the viscosity remains more stable, whereas flash point is a separate safety property.
