Which risk increases when elevated temperatures break intermolecular forces in lubricating oil?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated corrosion occurs because elevated temperatures induce thermal degradation, weakening the Van der Waals forces that maintain the oil's protective molecular structure; therefore oxidation of engine parts increases, rather than viscosity changes or abnormal combusion conditions because of direct breakdown.
