One way to extend oil life is to reduce the operational temperature. An oil’s life is typically cut in half for every 10 degree C increase in operating temperature. This is due to the rate of reaction speeding up and the activation energy increasing. Both of these changes are predicted by the Arrhenius equation developed [...]
