What else can I help you with?
Why low viscosity motor oil used in the winter and high viscosity motor oil used in the summer?
Low viscosity oil flows easier when it is cold but become thinner when it is hot.
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.
Why ether is used in spirit level?
Very low freezing point (you can leave your spirit level outdoors in winter even in Finland)Low viscosity (the bubble moves freely and the same whether warm or cold)
Does milk have a low viscosity?
Yes, it does have low viscosity.
When was Low Viscosity born?
Low Viscosity was born in 1995.
Why is it recommended to use a different type of oil in vehicles in winter?
Some cheaper oil can loose viscosity at low temperatures.
What will happen if viscosity is low?
For a material with low viscosity the flowing is easier.
Does soda have a low viscosity?
The viscosity is similar to the viscosity of water.
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.
Is 10w30 thicker than 5w30 motor oil?
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.
Is it better to have a high viscosity motor oil or a low viscosity motor oil?
Neither. Each has it's purpose. Use exactly what the manufacture recommends and use a multi-viscosity oil that will work in both cold and hot climates. The most common weight recommended in in new cars today is SAE 5w20.
