The formation of explosive vapor from lubricating oil is greatly accelerated by a rise in the temperature of the lubricating oil. A rise in temperature may be due to such factors as insufficient circulation of the oil, inadequate cool-ing of the oil, a faulty temperature-regulating valve, overloading of the engine, or damaged or excessively worn parts. In addition to creating ex-plosive vapors, overheated lubricating oil can have other serious effects. The viscosity of the lubricating oil will be greatly reduced, and the tendency to form acids will be increased. You, as an Engineman, must take immediate steps to correct any problem associated with overheated lubricating oil. You must maintain the temperature of the lubricating oil within the range of values specified in the NAVSEA technical manual for your engine
