Which mechanism causes increased viscosity in motor oil at low temperatures?

💡 Explanation

Reduced kinetic energy allows the Van der Waals intermolecular attraction mechanism to dominate between oil molecules, increasing viscosity when they move closer; therefore, the oil thickens rather than remaining fluid due to rapid molecular motion at higher temperatures.
