A characteristic feature of the Arctic climate is negative temperatures. They have a negative impact on the condition of the equipment. The engine is the least adapted unit for the use in such conditions. The lubrication system of the engine undergoes significant state changes. The changes include the reduction of the operational properties of engine oils and the formation of buttery sediments, which block the grids of oil receivers, oil filters and violate the permeability of oil lines. The factor of watering in low-temperature sedimentation is of paramount importance. The water in the crankcase is formed as a result of condensation processes when operating at low temperature.
