Which flow regime results when engine oil viscosity decreases?

💡 Explanation

A reduction in viscosity lowers the Reynolds number; therefore, turbulent flow starts sooner because the inertial forces become proportionately larger relative to viscous forces, favouring instability rather than laminar behavior.
