Engine developers and lubricant formulators are constantly improving the performance of internalcombustions engines by reducing the power losses and emissions. The majority of the mechanical frictional losses generatedin an engine can be attributed to the main tribological components of an engine, the valve train, piston assembly and enginebearings. Around 13 to 18% frictional losses are observed in automotive vehicles. Approximately 40 to 50 % losses of totallosses are contributed by only PRA system. If these losses are reduced even by in turn of 1%, it may results in saving of scarepetroleum fuels. However no single method has been developed to measure the friction loss contribution of each componentsimultaneously in a firing engine. In this paper, low friction coating methods are studied for engine performance and wear.
