Why low viscosity motor oil used in the winter and high viscosity motor oil used in the summer?
Low viscosity oil flows easier when it is cold but become thinner when it is hot.
What does W stand for in multi viscosity motor oils?
The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has established a numerical code system for grading motor oils according to their viscositycharacteristics. SAE viscosity gradings include the following, from low to high viscosity: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 or 60. The numbers 0, 5, 10, 15 and 25 are suffixed with the letter W, designating they are "winter" or cold-start viscosity, at lower temperature.
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 type of oil has the greatest density?
A motor oil with a high viscosity (resistance to flow) like SAE 50, will be your greatest density motor oil. Low viscosity like SAE 20 will have the least density.
Why ether is used in spirit level?
Very low freezing point (you can leave your spirit level outdoors in winter even in Finland)Low viscosity (the bubble moves freely and the same whether warm or cold)
When was Low Viscosity born?
Low Viscosity was born in 1995.
Does milk have a low viscosity?
Yes, it does have low viscosity.
What will happen if viscosity is low?
For a material with low viscosity the flowing is easier.
Does soda have a low viscosity?
The viscosity is similar to the viscosity of water.
What has Low density and high viscosity?
honey has high viscosity lah, and water has low viscosity. anything that resists flow has high viscosity...lah. honey has high viscosity lah, and water has low viscosity. anything that resists flow has high viscosity...lah.
Why is it recommended to use a different type of oil in vehicles in winter?
Some cheaper oil can loose viscosity at low temperatures.
How do liquid with a high viscosity differ from liquid with low viscosity?
The liquids with high viscosity flow slowly and liquids with low viscosity flow quickly.
