What is the different between cylinder oil and lube oil?


Cylinder oil is only used in cylinder. It is supplied by the lubricator. As well as lubricating, it assists in forming a gas seal and contains additives which clean the cylinder liner. Cylinder oil will have to neutralize the acidic products of combustion.

Lube oil is used to lubricate parts in crankcase, turbocharger, exhaust valve. It forms a film of oil between the moving parts, which reduces friction and wear. Sometimes,
it act as hydraulic oil for controlling. After lubrication, it will be collected in the sump of engine and recycle after purifying.
