Yes. If the temperature changes enough, the viscosity of oil will change, too. Oil is designed to resist changes in viscosity with temperature changes, at least to a degree. But if the change (either hotter or colder) is extreme, then the viscocity will most certainly change. And, as you'd expect, as it gets hotter, the viscosity of oil decreases (it get thinner), and as it gets colder, the viscosity of oil increases (it gets thicker).
What else can I help you with?
Does water or motor oil flow faster?
Water is faster by it's lower viscosity, though oil viscosity is more temperature dependent than that of water.
Hot oil room temperature oil room temperature water below room temperature oil Which is likely to have the lowest viscosity?
Room temperature water is likely to have the lowest viscosity among the options provided. Water has a lower viscosity compared to oil, especially when the temperature is below room temperature. Oil typically has a higher viscosity compared to water.
What does lube oil viscosity refer to?
The viscosity of a liquid is a measure of of "thick" the liquid is. E.g. Honey is very viscous, while water is not. In terms of motor oil, more viscous oil will thin out less at very high temperatures. Viscosity is represented by the number pair associated with the oil, such as 10/40, where 10 is the low temperature viscosity and 40 is the high temperature viscosity. (scale of 0-60, with 60 being the most viscous)
Does room temperature oil have a lower viscosity?
It isn't clear what you are comparing it to.
What is the range viscosity index for a SAE 40?
The viscosity index (VI) for an SAE 40 oil typically ranges from 95 to 115. This index measures how much the viscosity of the oil changes with temperature; a higher VI indicates that the oil maintains its viscosity better across temperature variations. SAE 40 oils are commonly used in applications requiring high-temperature performance, such as in certain engines and industrial machinery.
Motor oil is used to lubricate different parts of an engine The viscosity of oil changes as a motor runs or is turned off What external factor will most frequently change the viscosity of the motor?
decreased temperature
What does viscosity of motor oil?
hi brooklyn, the viscosity of motor oil is how quickly it flows
What external factor will most frequently change the viscosity of the motor oil?
decreased temperature
Does water or motor oil flow faster?
Water is faster by it's lower viscosity, though oil viscosity is more temperature dependent than that of water.
Does olive oil or motor oil have greater viscosity?
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.
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.
Hot oil room temperature oil room temperature water below room temperature oil Which is likely to have the lowest viscosity?
Room temperature water is likely to have the lowest viscosity among the options provided. Water has a lower viscosity compared to oil, especially when the temperature is below room temperature. Oil typically has a higher viscosity compared to water.

What refers to the tendency of oil to resist flowing?
Oil viscosity depends on it's temperature. The higher the oil temperature is, leads to higher viscosity and low flow resistance. Cold oil temperature leads to lower viscosity and higher flow resistance
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.
Does motor oil have greater viscosity than olive oil?
olive oil
