The viscosity of oil is the rate that it flows, and its resistance to shear forces.
5w30

It's 5W30.
Viscosity refers to the way in which oil will flow under certain conditions. Cold oil will flow slowly, hot oil much faster. It is the extent to which the substance resists a tendency to flow
I CHANGE MY OWN OIL IN MY 1991 PREVIA. 5W30 IS WHAT I HAVE USED FOR YEARS. PREVIA JUST PASSED THE 334,000 KM MARK
all temps 5w30 Best Way is 10w40 Mobile 1 Full Synth Motor Oil.
Factory said to use 5W30 in the winter time. 10W30 in the summer time.
Factory recommended back then would have been 10w/30 or 40.
Depends on the engine and the temperature. Check the manual for oil specifications. Should have a chart with temp and viscocity. Should be 5w-30.
4.25 quarts of 10-30
Well, honey, cooking oil is thicker than water, so yes, it does have a higher viscosity. Water is as thin as a supermodel on a juice cleanse, while cooking oil is more like a thick milkshake. So, if you're looking to pour something out that's gonna stick around a bit longer, go with the cooking oil, darling.
sounds like your oil is wrong viscocity and causes the hydraulic lifters to tap until oil thins enuff to work the lifters. if changing oil doesnt help you have a worn lifter
