hi brooklyn, the viscosity of motor oil is how quickly it flows
Motor oil typically has greater viscosity than olive oil. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, and motor oil is designed to have a higher viscosity in order to protect the engine's moving parts at high temperatures and speeds.
Low viscosity oil flows easier when it is cold but become thinner when it is hot.
olive oil
decreased temperature
5w30
SAE 10W30
Not usually
I understand you can use the same oil viscosity in both motor & transmission on the 2008 harley roadking!
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.
motor oil. higher viscosity better for hot weather, lower for winter
Viscosity and additives.
Of course you can but when you do you are changing the viscosity of the oil. Your engine requires a certain weight or viscosity of oil. Use only the weight oil recommended by the manufacture.
