ACIDITY OF AUTOMOTIVE FLUIDS
ACIDITY OF AUTOMOTIVE FLUIDS
(OP)
In general, are automotive fluids, i.e., engine oil, transmission fluid, gear oil, etc, acidic? Do they become acid over time? Thanks.

Exhaust gas can be acid as Isaac indicates.
On spark ignition engines poor or ineffective emission control devices or alcohol fuels might decrease the ph of exhaust gas.
Is not sulphur used extensively in rubber compounds. If so I would think it had a potential for acid rain that outweighed cars in the parking lot by a huge factor.
Are you near a main road, an airport, a main railway, a power station or race track for cars, especially cars that burn alcohol or nitromethane.

the ability to neutralize acid is also an important characteristic of tranmission fluid.

"The recommended pH range for coolants is on the slight alkaline side, from 7.5 to 11. Anything at 11 and above would be considered too high. Tests that range from 6.0 up to 7.5 would be considered too low. The pH of fresh coolant slowly decreases with time and use in a cooling system as acids are formed by the oxidation of ethylene or propylene glycol. "
