if it is really cold where you live, and the viscosity of the oil would be the optimal for your car at that cold outdoor temperature.

i.e. as oil cools it is less viscus. Therefore, in colder climates normal oil becomes too thick in the cold weather to run optimally, so if you use less viscus oil you can compensate.

Does a milkshake have low viscosity?

No, a milkshake typically has high viscosity due to its thick and creamy consistency. Viscosity refers to a liquid's resistance to flow, with low viscosity indicating a more fluid substance and high viscosity indicating a thicker, more resistant fluid.


What does a liquid with low viscosity do?

Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid which is being deformed by either shear or tensile stress. In everyday terms (and for fluids only), viscosity is "thickness" or "internal friction". Thus, water with low viscosity can be easily poured out or has ease fluidity or movement of molecules.


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.


What are characteristics of viscosity?

Viscosity is the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. Fluids with high viscosity flow slowly, while fluids with low viscosity flow quickly. Viscosity is influenced by factors such as temperature, pressure, and molecular structure of the fluid.


What has low viscosity?

Liquid helium has practically zero viscosity. Pretty cool to see, it seeps through glass cups and containers.

What is the viscosity definitions?

Viscosity is a fluids resistance to flow. A high viscosity fluid would be thick, a low viscosity fluid would be thin.

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.


What will happen if viscosity is low?

For a material with low viscosity the flowing is easier.


Does soda have a low viscosity?

What is a non example of viscosity?

An example of something with low viscosity, like water, would be a non-example of viscosity. Viscosity refers to the resistance of a fluid to flow, so a non-example would be any substance that does not resist flow, such as gases.
