Which risk increases when lubricating oil within an engine reaches a high Reynolds number?

💡 Explanation

Turbulent flow increases because a higher Reynolds number indicates inertial forces dominate over viscous forces, therefore turbulence arises more easily, rather than the smoother laminar flow, resulting in less efficient lubrication and increased engine wear.
