Gear lube is thicker than both ATF and motor oil.Gear lube is thicker than both ATF and motor oil.
Crankcase or motor oil is thicker than transmission oil. That's one difference, there may be more (other than color)
Im not 100% sure but its a call, Yes 2t oil is SAE 30 since its thicker than ATF(SAE 20).
Motor oil will float on water. That makes water denser.
ATF+4 or use a synthetic 5w-30 motor oil. The motor oil will have to be changed every 6000 miles though. The ATF+4 can be left in for at least 50,000 miles.
not much. it would change the viscosity of the oil. the diesel oil is much thicker than regular engine oil.
when motor oil is heated it viscotity rises and becomes thicker
Yes, Lucas Oil Stabilizer is thicker than 60 motor oil. It is designed to provide additional viscosity and enhance the performance of motor oils, especially in high-performance or older engines. The stabilizer has a higher viscosity rating, which helps reduce friction and wear, making it suitable for applications where extra protection is needed.
Yes, 10W30 motor oil is thicker than 5W30 motor oil at higher temperatures. The first number in the oil designation (the "W" stands for winter) indicates the oil's viscosity at low temperatures, meaning 5W30 is thinner in colder conditions compared to 10W30. However, both oils have the same viscosity at operating temperatures (30), meaning they perform similarly once the engine is warmed up.
Motor oil is a higher viscosity and lower detergent level than tranny fluid. Drain the oil out asap and replace with ATF right away. To get all of the oil out you'll have to have a complete transmission drain that includes the converter as well. If you just drain the pan you only get about 1/3 or less of the total volume of ATF in there. FYI If you have sticking valve lifters before you change oil drain a quart out or wait till it's about a quart low. Add ATF to the crankcase but don't drive more than a few hundred miles. The ATF will loosen a lot of dirt the regular oil usually can't which may unstick the lifters. This is because ATF is so high in detergents.
This is a bad sign. If the water is in the crankcase this can mean that the head gasget has been blown and the water has leaked into places it should not go. Do not drive this vehicle until the problem is fixed.
15 is thicker oil and for bigger engines.
