Abstract This paper presents the results of the tribological experiments conducted using an oscillating wear tester under lubricated conditions. Specimen from piston ring slid against counter-specimen from cylinder liner. Various surface textures of cylinder liners resulted from honing and/or plateau honing. Tests were carried out for two normal loads of 100 and 300 N at a temperature of 80 °C, the stroke was 3 mm, the frequency was 10 Hz. Each experiment was divided into four time intervals. During breaks between the particular parts of the test, the surface topography of cylinder liners was measured by a white light interferometer. It was found that an increase in the normal load led to an increase in changes of the liner surface textures.
