Which consequence results when lubricating oil viscosity declines sharply in a hydraulic system relying on tight tolerances?

A)Increased internal pump cavitation risk.
B)Elevated system operating temperature.
C)Decreased actuator response time.
D)Reduced flow turbulance and noise.

💡 Explanation

Elevated operating temperature results because reduced viscosity causes increased fluid leakage past seals and clearances; this leads to greater frictional losses and heat generation rather than decreased temperature, therefore energy dissipation occurs faster.
