What do you mean by SAE an motor oil?
SAE stands for Society of Automotive Engineers. Sae ratings pertain to the oils Viscosity. Viscosity is the flowability (resistance to flow) at a particular temperature.
What do the SAE ratings on motor oil mean?
SAE ratings on motor oil have to do with the viscosity of the oil. The viscosity is the oil's resistance to flow, or an oil's speed of flow as measured through a device known as a viscometer. The higher the SAE, the thicker the oil and the slower it will flow. Oils that have a number like 5W30 or 10W30 have been tested at a colder temperature. These oils will flow at the fist number's rate at colder temperatures and the second number's rate at higher temperatures. SAE means Society of Automotive Engineers
What kind of motor oil should you use for your 94 Grand Prix?
Any of the major American oils in SAE 10w30 weight will be fine.
Can SAE 10w30w be mixed with SAE Ow 20 motor oil?
Yes, SAE 10W-30 and SAE 0W-20 motor oils can be mixed, as both are multi-viscosity oils and compatible in terms of chemical composition. However, mixing them may alter the overall viscosity, potentially affecting engine performance and protection. It's generally recommended to stick to one oil type for optimal engine health and performance. Always consult your vehicle's owner manual for the best oil recommendations.
What motor oil do you put in a 2005 Mercury Mountaineer?
Motor oil type shold be chosen based on where you live not the type of car you drive. If by type you are refering to grade of oil. If by type you mean brand then it does not matter as long as it has an SAE approved symbol all motor oils are the same per grade. Addatives in motor oil make them different not the brand.
What does the w mean in motor oil?
The 'W' stands for WINTER. It does not stand for weight. What would the oil be weighing? 12oz of 10w-30 weighs the same as 12oz of 5w-20. It is related to the cold temperature viscosity of the product. A multi-viscosity oil, 5W-20 for example, will perform like an SAE 5 product when cold and a SAE 20 product when hot. And as a bit of additional info, oils are not 'weighted' they are graded. SAE grades the oil.. SAE 5, 20, 30..
What motor oils meet Ford specification WSS-M2C930-A?
Motorcraft SAE 5W-20 Castrol Oil GTX 5W-20 Mobil 5W20 Clean 5000 Motor Oil also meets the new Ford Specs.
What does 10W30 mean?
When referencing motor oil weight, you are actually referring to the viscosity grade or the tendency of a liquid to flow slowly or quickly. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) developed a grading system to designate the viscosity level of single grade and multigrade motor oils. In single grade oils, the lower the number, the better it flows at cold temperatures. Likewise, the higher the number, the thicker the oil. In regard to multigrade oils, the first number in the code, such as 10W in SAE 10W-30, means that the oil can still be pumped by the engine at a temperature as low as a single grade 10W oil. A 5W, like in SAE 5W-30, can be pumped at an even lower temperature, and a 0W, like in SAE 0W-30, will pump at the lowest tested temperatures. The W in the designation is commonly thought to represent weight, but in fact stands for Winter. The second number, 30, indicates how well the oil will flow when heated to 100C/212F or higher. there are charts available on the net which give the temp raings for the different oils
How is the viscosity af an oil related to its sae number?
The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) have established a numerical code for grading motor oils according to their viscosity from low to high. Single grade oils are designated 5, 10, 15, 20 and so on. Multigrade oils are designated 10-50 for example and must pass the grade requirement for both 10 and 50. Multigrade oils are designed to operate over a wide range of temperatures, from freezing conditions to temperatures created by hot operating engines
Where do i add sae 10 non detergent oil to my furnace blower motor?
To add the sae 10 non detergent oil to your furnace blower motor you will have to open the motor section.
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 is molecular weight of SAE 40 oil?
Manufacturers mix various oils to make an 'SAE 40' oil product. Such a mixture will not have a molecular weight.
