Which outcome occurs when using high temperature lubricant?

💡 Explanation

Increased wear results if high temperatures substantially reduces lubricant's viscosity. The lubricating properties decrease because temperature increases molecular kinetic energy which enhances mobility countering intermolecular forces. Therefore, more wear debris generates faster, rather than improving the lubricating capability under lower temperatures.
