Passage of unburned fuel and combustion gases past the piston rings of internal combustion engines, resulting in fuel dilution and contamination of the crankcase oil.
Blending
Industrial machinery; Industrial lubricants
The process of mixing lubricants or components for the purpose of obtaining the desired physical and/or chemical properties (see compounding)
Bleeding
