What is the difference between single viscosity oil an mulit-viscosity oil?
Single viscosity is high quality oil. Mulit-viscosity oil is used for in the winter.
Is it true a motor oil with high viscosity moves through an engine quickly?
No
Alta in summer and winter?
In summer the temperature reaches as high as 50' and in winter they can get as cold as -20'.
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.
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.
What would happen if you put high viscosity oil in your car in the summer?
Very poor lubrication at startup.
Describe the sun's positions relative to the equator during winter and summer solstices and equinox?
in the summer it is high in the air in the winter its low.

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.
My ceiling fan doesn't have a summer and winter switch - how can I change it from summer to winter?
Your fan must be an industrial model. Commercial fans usually have reversing switches mounted beside the speed controller for the fan. The reasoning behind this is that the fans are usually in warehouses that have high ceiling that are hard to get to switch from summer to winter. To switch from summer to winter in your type of fan, the wiring has to be changed inside the motor box. Fans for use in homes will all have the reverse switch.
What is the average temperatures in Michigan summer and winter?
The average high temperature for Lansing in the winter months is 31 and 80 during the summer months.
Does krakatau have low or high viscosity?
