Not really. You may have some change if you mix them but nothing you could really measure. The viscosity is a product of the base oil used and the additive package used by the manufacturer. While heavier oils tend to have a higher viscosity they also suspend more dirt and ash as they are being pumped through the system. Because of this they can cause the heat to fluctuate inside an engine and also affect fuel economy. For almost all applications on modern automobiles the oil you purchase across the counter is more than effective enough to provide engine or any other gear box protection.

What is viscocity of oil?
Viscosity refers to how thick or thin the oil is and its rating is the length of time it takes to flow out of a hole. An oil is rated for viscosity by heating it to a specific temperature and the allowing it to flow out of a specifically sized hole. If it flows quickly it gets a low rating. If it flows slowly it gets a high rating
How would you define viscosity - index?
Viscosity index is a measure of how an oil's viscosity changes with temperature. Higher viscosity index oils are more resistant to changes in viscosity with temperature, making them perform more consistently across a range of temperatures.
Can you Give you facts about viscosity?
Viscosity is the resistance for flow.Viscosity is the internal properties of fluids.Gear oil normally has larger viscosity.Kinematic viscosity is usuarally used to measure the viscosity of industrial lubricants.Dynamical viscosity (CCS) is usually used to measure low temperature viscosity for auto lubricants.Solvent or fuels has a low viscosity.Industrial oils folllow ISO viscosity classification.Auto lubes oils follow SAE viscosity classification.High viscosity usually means better protection for wear.Low viscosity usually means low friction resistance.
Will different oils in a lava lamp effect the way it works?
Yes, different oils in a lava lamp can affect the way it works. The density and viscosity of the oil can impact the flow of the blobs in the lamp, altering its movement and overall appearance. It's important to use the recommended type of oil for optimal performance.
What fraction is the most viscous?
The most viscous fraction would be one with a high molecular weight and long chain length, such as heavy oils or polymers. These fractions have stronger intermolecular forces, leading to higher viscosity.
What is hydraulic oil use for?
Hydraulic oils are used in hydraulic systems to power them. There are different hydraulic oils with different levels of viscosity. The higher the viscosity normally the more efficient the pumping system will be.
Is transmission fluid the same as brake fluid?
No, and do not mix. They are different viscosity and different type oils
What are three different types of viscosity weights in oil?
Three different types of viscosity weights of oil are single-grade, multi-grade, and high-performance synthetic oils. Single-grade oils have a fixed viscosity rating and are typically specified for use in specific temperature ranges. Multi-grade oils, such as 10W-30, offer a wider operating temperature range due to their ability to flow easily at low temperatures and maintain viscosity at high temperatures. High-performance synthetic oils provide superior protection and performance across a broader range of temperatures compared to conventional oils.
How many oils can be mixed with ester based oils?
no other oils can be mixed
Is there a diff in viscosity between mineral and vegetable oils?
Yes. the viscosity in a mineral will almost certainly wear a hole through your skin. viscosity of vegetable oils will only drown a human baby
How do you make 10w30 out of 15w40 motor oil?
Contrary to popular belief, mixing multi viscosity oils does not give you a set viscosity, only a mixture of several different viscosities.
What is the significance of viscosity of oil in determining its performance and efficiency in various applications?
The viscosity of oil is important in determining how well it performs in different applications. Higher viscosity oils are thicker and flow more slowly, providing better lubrication and protection for machinery. However, they can also reduce efficiency by requiring more energy to pump. Lower viscosity oils flow more easily, increasing efficiency but potentially sacrificing some lubrication properties. Finding the right balance of viscosity is crucial for optimizing performance and efficiency in different applications.
What is cannabis oil viscosity?
Cannabis oil viscosity refers to how thick or thin the oil is. The viscosity can affect how easily the oil can be vaporized or absorbed by the body. Lower viscosity oils tend to be thinner and may be more suitable for vaping, while higher viscosity oils may be preferred for topical or oral use.
What is the relationship between the viscosity of oils and temperature variations?
The viscosity of oils decreases as temperature increases. This means that as the temperature rises, oils become less thick and flow more easily. Conversely, as the temperature decreases, oils become thicker and flow more slowly.

What is the pour point of lubricating oil?
It varies with the oils viscosity.
Can you mix different weight motor oils like castrol 10w30 with castrol 20w50?
why would you want to? Yes you could, the viscosity will average out .
