Question 273Motor Plants - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is B) high temperature and a low viscosity. Oil cleaning and filtration are most effective when the oil is at a high temperature and a low viscosity. At high temperatures, the oil becomes less viscous, allowing impurities and contaminants to be more easily separated from the oil using a centrifuge or filter. The lower viscosity allows the oil to flow more freely through the filtration system, improving the efficiency of the cleaning process. The other options are incorrect because low temperature and high viscosity (option C) or low temperature and low viscosity (option D) would not provide the optimal conditions for effective oil cleaning and filtration. High temperature and high viscosity (option A) would also not be as effective, as the higher viscosity would impede the flow of the oil through the filtration system.
