The core principle governing this domain is fluid compatibility and contaminant exclusion in internal combustion engine lubrication systems, where hydrocarbon-based solvents (petrol) induce thinning of viscous lubricants upon contact before evaporation occurs. The theoretical mechanism defines the critical necessity for complete phase transition to vapor prior to re-integration into the oil circuit to maintain film strength and prevent rheological degradation. This concept belongs to tribology and mechanical engineering maintenance, specifically addressing material properties of hydraulic fluids under solvent exposure within engine management systems.
