Neither. Each has it's purpose. Use exactly what the manufacture recommends and use a multi-viscosity oil that will work in both cold and hot climates. The most common weight recommended in in new cars today is SAE 5w20.

What does vescosity mean?

Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. It describes how easily a fluid can flow or how thick and sticky it is. High-viscosity fluids like honey flow slowly, while low-viscosity fluids like water flow quickly.

How do liquids with high viscosity differ from liquids with a low viscosity?

Viscosity is a property of liquids, showing that liquid's resistance to flow. A liquid with a high viscosity would mean it flowed slowly. A liquid with a low viscosity would mean it flows rather quickly.
