A detergent-dispersant additive in an engine oil serves to

  • A.keep deposits suspended and neutralise acids
  • B.raise the viscosity of the oil when hot
  • C.lower the pour point of the oil
  • D.increase the oil's flash point

Answer: A

Correct answer: keep deposits suspended and neutralise acids

The detergent keeps surfaces clean and carries a reserve of alkali that neutralises the acids formed by combustion and oxidation; the dispersant keeps the resulting soot and sludge finely suspended so that it is carried to the filter rather than settling. Together they are what allow long drain intervals.
