What is a consequence of not following recommended lubrication intervals?

• A. No impact on performance
• B. Wear increases due to improper lubrication or not following intervals
• C. Automatic improvement in efficiency
• D. Liquids become purer

Answer: (C)

Regular lubrication intervals keep a protective film between moving parts, reducing friction, carrying away heat, and removing contaminants. When those intervals aren’t followed, the lubricant ages or becomes contaminated, its film thins or breaks, and metal surfaces start rubbing together more. That extra wear accelerates component degradation, raises temperatures, can loosen seals, and shortens the life of the equipment. So, the consequence is increased wear due to improper lubrication or not following the recommended intervals. The other options don’t fit because skipping lubrication doesn’t improve performance or efficiency, and it doesn’t make liquids purer.
