A motor oil's primary function in an engine is to lubricate its 
moving parts. A thin film of oil keeps the parts from rubbing 
directly against one another, preventing wear and ensuring smooth 
motion. To fulfill that function, the oil can't be too thick or too 
thin either. But calibrating a motor oil is a lot harder than it 
sounds. In entertaining weekly episodes our Chemical Reporter answers
questions of our Podcast listeners on Chemistry in our everyday life.
