Contributing factors to oil degradation (increase in oil acidity and other contaminants) are temperature (influenced by performance demands on the engine and environmental conditions) pressure, friction and time. Other factors that contribute are the presence of contaminants that will cause premature breakdown of the molecular structure of the oil.
