Abstract

Engine performance deteriorates as the ambient temperature drops below 10 ºC. Fuel, engine oil, and battery are carefully selected for the efficient functioning of the engine in cold climates. The winter-grade fuels with better flowability and the ability to finely atomize when injected in order to burn the fuel efficiently are described. Then lubricating oils with flow improvers to reduce the oil viscosity and thereby lower the frictional losses and pumping loss are specified for easier cranking to start the engine.
