Which limit arises when lubricating oil viscosity decreases?

💡 Explanation

Increased wear results from lower viscosity reducing the *hydrodynamic lubrication* film thickness, because more metal surfaces make contact. Therefore friction rises, speeding wear, rather than heat transfer changes or affecting system resonance that’s independent of lubrication oil properties.
