Which consequence occurs when lubricating oil viscosity increases in an engine?

💡 Explanation

Increased oil viscosity elevates the hydrodynamic force because increased viscous drag from the oil raises the resistance to the moving parts. Therefore, the engine experiences increased friction and reduced mechanical efficiency owing to the amplified viscous forces, rather than the other options due to the change in lubrication properties.
