Conversion efficiency is now the key. Per the regulations, the Mercedes team downsized their internal combustion engine (ICE) to a 1.6 Oil thins at higher temperatures; thus, a hotter engine needs a thicker oil to stop metal components from rubbing together and failing. This requires thinner, faster flowing oil.

The automotive industry, including Lotus Engineering, has quite rightly advocated engine downsizing for four-stroke engines. The two-stroke cycle, conversely, does not suffer from significant throttling losses and in many ways is a more natural fit for automotive use. Wet sump with plain bearings and electric oil pump.
