Abstract Engine oil additives generally fall into one of two general categories: those that affect bulk oil properties and those that affect the surface properties of lubricated parts. Interactions among surface‐active additives can lead to less‐than‐expected lubricant performance. Laboratory friction and wear test results are presented to illustrate the changes in lubricant performance that interactions among additives can cause. Some possible explanations are proposed.
