The oil change may be about to endure a change of its own. A big motor-oil maker plans to announce Thursday that it has achieved a breakthrough in engine-lubrication design that makes it easy to ...

The internal combustion engines that power most of our vehicles depend on a steady supply of engine oil for lubrication and friction reduction. This fluid comes in various different viscosities or ...

The L8B is a powertrain system produced by General Motors for use in pickup trucks and SUVs. The system is based around the 5.3L L83 engine and two components: The 5.3L L83 V-8 engine is mated to a ...

Most people understand that motor oil is a vital component for the internal combustion engines that power most of our cars. Not only does oil act as a lubricant, allowing internal moving parts to ...
