How motor oil behaves

Motor oil is mainly hydrocarbon base oil plus detergents, dispersants, anti-wear agents, antioxidants and viscosity modifiers. Used oil can also suspend soot, oxidation products and other engine contaminants. The mobile oil spreads through fibres and pores, while the dark contamination can remain after the oily feel has gone.
