Which result occurs when lubricating oil viscosity elevates excessively in an engine?

💡 Explanation

Elevated oil viscosity increases internal friction because Momentum Diffusion, thereby hindering flow and increasing engine wear. Therefore, engine performance and lubrication diminish, rather than improve, because the high-viscosity oil cannot properly reach critical components; this also increases internal friction.
