Which risk increases when lubricating oil viscosity decreases in an internal combustion engine?

💡 Explanation

Increased wear occurs because of boundary lubrication; reduced viscosity lowers the oil film thickness, therefore increasing metal-to-metal contact. This happens rather than improved lubrication, as higher viscosity provides a better film.
