👉 The starter fluid, also known as the initial lubricant or preload fluid, is a critical component in mechanical systems, particularly in engines and hydraulic systems, designed to provide initial lubrication and ensure proper sealing and alignment of moving parts immediately after startup. It acts as a lubricant, reducing friction between components, and helps maintain the correct clearance between moving parts to prevent leaks. Additionally, it aids in sealing the system by filling any gaps and ensuring that no metal-to-metal contact occurs, which could lead to wear or failure. This fluid is typically a specialized oil or grease formulated to withstand high temperatures and pressures, making it suitable for demanding applications.
