Which outcome weakens lubrication when hydraulic fluid heats?

💡 Explanation

Reduced viscosity decreases fluid film thickness because decreased shear resistance leads to boundary lubrication rather than hydrodynamic lubrication; therefore, the load-bearing capacity drops, rather than other thermal or chemical degradation modes.
