0w20 is a designation of the weight of oil. The 0 means it flows easily at cold tempertures. The 20 means it becomes a 20 weight oil at full operating tempertures. The w stands for winter.

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 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 type of oil for 1993 Honda Accord?

5w-20Correct answer:5W-30, or 10W-30. Never use 5W-20 in a Honda.The above answer is only partially correct. The correct weight that Honda recommends for the 1993 Honda Accord is SAE 5w-30. Starting in 2001 Honda switched to SAE 5w-20, and starting in 2011 they changed it to SAE 0w-20. Use exactly what Honda recommends for you 1993 which is SAE 5w-30.
