``Fundamentals of Lubricant Additives'' and ``Base Oils'' Training Modules Launch on Lubricants University Website; Two New Courses Offer Users an Overview on Lubricant Formulations.SAN RAMON San Ramon (Spanish for "Saint Raymond") may refer to one of the following places:
preparations for the lubrication of passages to reduce frictional injury, e.g. oily preparations, including petroleum jelly, lanolin or water-soluble preparations such as methyl cellulose. University, an educational website, is introducing two new courses, "Fundamentals of Lubricant Lubricant A gas, liquid, or solid used to prevent contact of parts in relative motion, and thereby reduce friction and wear. In many machines, cooling by the lubricant is equally important. Additives" and "Base Oils," as part of its educational on-line training. The two modules are self-study, web-based programs designed for lubricant resellers, industrial end users, compounders, blenders and individuals interested in expanding their knowledge of lubricant formulation.

The "Fundamentals of Lubricant Additives" course covers the primary additives used in lubricant formulations and explains the basic functions and applications. The course helps lubricant resellers and industrial end users understand the role additives play in a finished product and learn why different products are used in different applications. The "Base Oils" course covers base oils manufacturing, how performance is measured and why different oils are selected for specific applications. "The new on-line courses from Lubricant University are easy for students to schedule and complete," said Kathy Johnson Kathy Johnson, also known as Kathy Johnson Clarke (born September 13, 1959) is an American commentator and retired artistic gymnast.
