Hi guys need some help and thought this might be the right place to ask.



I have to find out which lubrication regeme the rotor bearing on a wankel is operating in by plotting it on a stribeck curve. But trying to find the literature online and understanding it has tripped me up a little. I have done viscometer temperature sweeps on the oil in question but don't know where to go from there.



Any help would be much appreciated.



Regards,



Joe

to be honest that question is way over my head however if your looking for an answer to what oils work well or better then others in a rota thats an easy one to answer, valvline VR-1 is a oil many many race teams and street users tend to use. i use vr-1 20w50 and 50wt oils in both street rotarys and race rotarys and have found great luck with it. bearing life is exalent and carbon seems to be less of a build up with the vr-1 as compaired to other oils and synthetics used in the past and in customers cars. i now have all my customers with rx7s switched to vr-1 and my rx8 customers all use castrol gt-x 5w20.
