17
Q

What kind of oil filters are there?

A

Full flow, bypass/partial flow

18
Q

In an engine during a cold start, before oil comes to temperature, how is the oil kept from the cooling system?

A

Oil is bypassed around the cooler using a bypass valve (vernotherm valve). Then as the valve heats up, it expands and closes.

19
Q

Oil separator is used with which kind of air pumps?

A

Wet-type

20
Q

Large Radial engines use this system, adding small amounts of fuel to the oil before shutdown, allowing for less viscous oil for the next startup in cold temperatures.

A

Oil dilution sysem

21
Q

Other aircraft engines use ___-________ to heat up oil

A

Pre-heaters

22
Q

What does oil provide for engines?

A

Sealing, cooling, cleaning, actuation, corrosion prevention, lubrication

23
Q

The Higher the number on the oil part number =?

A

Thicker fluid/High viscosity fluid

24
Q

In Multi-Viscosity Oils, what does the first number represent?

A

Viscosity at Low temperatures

25
Q

What kind of bypass valves are there for an oil cooler?

A

Pressure, temperature

26
Q

What is the most common type of oil pump?

A

Gear pump

27
Q

When do you use Mineral oil?

A

During the break-in period if an engine
