What is the most important engine oil property?
Color
Viscosity
Cooling
Ability to pick up metal in the system
Which of the following is an advantage to using thinner engine oil?
Lubricates the engine better
Doesn't slip past oil rings as much as a heavy oil
improved protection at higher temperatures
Improved fuel economy
Which of the following is an advantage to using thicker oil?
Improved starting in cold weather
Improved fuel economy
Improved protection at higher temperatures
Less frequent oil changes needed
The viscosity rating is sometimes printed on the __________________________ under the hood.
Oil Cap
Emission Sticker
Valve Cover
Dip Stick
The major advantage to using synthetic oil is:
Synthetic oil is cheaper
It uses a better grade of base crude oil
It remains fluid at a very low temperature
None of the above
What is the advantage of using an oil filter with an anti-drain back valve?
It allows the engine to receive immediate lubrication as soon as the engine starts
It allows oil to drain back into the oil pan faster so the oil is ready for immediate pick up when the engine is started
Keeps you from having to change the oil as often
Keeps the oil from overheating
You should change your oil filter:
More often than you change the oil because it will clean the used oil
Every other oil change
As long as your changing your oil regularly you don't need to change the oil
Every time you change your oil
When tightening the oil filter you should:
Tighten it with the oil filter wrench
Never use an oil filter wrench and hand tighten only
Torque the oil filter with a special torque wrench
never put oil on the oil filter gasket
Which of these steps should be first when changing the oil in a vehicle?
Drain the oil
Change the filter
Apply a thin layer of oil to the filter
Install a seat cover. steering wheel cover and floor mat
Which of the following is not a purpose of coolant?
Transfers heat from the engine to the radiator
Lubricates major engine components
Prevents freezing in cold weather
Protect the engine and cooling system from rust and corrostion
___________________ developed by Halvoline is one brand of an OAT coolant which has been used by General Motors since 1996.

The freezing point of antifreeze can be tested using a _________________________.
Pressure Tester
Hydrometer
Visual Inspection
Antifreeze meter
The wind chill factor:
