Einsprachige Beispiele (nicht von der PONS Redaktion geprüft)

Each cylinder has four valves, for forty-eight valves total, lubricated via a dry sump system, with a compression ratio of 10.40:1.

en.wikipedia.org

Adding tetraethyllead to the petrol reduced this problem to some degree, as the lead would coat the valve seats, in effect lubricating the metal.

en.wikipedia.org

This lubricates the bearings, allows the use of higher-capacity fluid bearings and also assists in cooling the engine.

en.wikipedia.org

The cause was attributed to the blend of vegetable and mineral oils used to lubricate the spindles.

en.wikipedia.org

The light blocking method is specified for particle counters that are used for counting in hydraulic and lubricating fluids.
