The aniline point of an oil is the temperature at which it becomes

  • A.fully saturated with dissolved oxygen
  • B.capable of dissolving its own additive package
  • C.completely miscible with an equal volume of aniline
  • D.immiscible with water at any proportion

Answer: C

Correct answer: completely miscible with an equal volume of aniline

The aniline point measures the aromatic content indirectly: aromatics dissolve aniline readily, so an oil rich in them becomes miscible at a low temperature. A high aniline point therefore indicates a paraffinic oil, which is what is wanted for a lubricant, since aromatics oxidise more readily and attack rubber seals.
