Oils thicker than 10W-30 include 10W-40 and 20W-50. These oils have a higher viscosity at operating temperatures, making them suitable for high-performance engines or those operating in hotter conditions. The first number (before the "W") indicates the viscosity in cold temperatures, while the second number indicates viscosity at high temperatures. Therefore, both 10W-40 and 20W-50 provide greater thickness compared to 10W-30 at elevated temperatures.
What else can I help you with?
Is it OK to change from 5-30 to 10-30 weight on synthetic oil?
If the enigine calls for 5w-30 then the only real reason that you switch to a thicker viscosity is to lessen oil leaks? If yes, than there is nothing wrong with that.
What is the difference 5w30 and 5w40 oil?
He 5w40 oil is a thicker oil at full operate temperatures than the 5W-30 oil.

Is 20microns thicker than 30microns?
No, 20 microns is not thicker than 30 microns. In fact, 30 microns is thicker than 20 microns by 10 microns. Microns are a unit of measurement for thickness, where a higher number indicates greater thickness.
Is SAE 30 is 2t oil?
Im not 100% sure but its a call, Yes 2t oil is SAE 30 since its thicker than ATF(SAE 20).
What is the different between 5w20 engine oil and 5w30 engine oil?
30 is a little more viscous (thicker) at operating temperature than 20.
What oil is thicker synthetic or conventional?
It they are the same weight oil as in SAE 30 weight oil there is no difference and they are identical. 30 weight oil is 30 weight oil synthetic or conventional.
What should the oil pressure be in your 1997 Chevy 1500?
25 to 30 lbs hot idleing if it is under 10 you got problems running thicker oil will raise oil presure like 20w50 or sae 50woil.
What weight oil does an F150 use for winter months?
in the winter months i found in any vehicle to use 5w-30 in the winter months being that it;s a thinner oil and run 10 w-40 in the summer being that it's thicker, cuz the thicker the oil is the longer it takes to warm up and start flowing than thinner oil does during the winter months, i made the mistake by putting the thicker oil in my truck during the winter when it really gets cold and it didnt want to start at all, i had to use a forced heater to unthaw it..
Oil loss but oil is not leaking?
oil is being burned threw the piston oil rings,valve gides ,sometimes its as sample as a pcv valve that is sucking to much.high mile cars will use more oil .Try thicker oil.if your using 5/30 oil.move it up to 10/30,10/30 change to 10/40,10/40 change to 20/50.
