Multi-viscosity oil is an engine oil that has been engineered to have a range of viscosities, meaning it can perform effectively across a wider range of temperatures. This type of oil is designed to flow easily in cold temperatures for quick engine startup, while also providing sufficient lubrication at higher temperatures. The viscosity rating for multi-viscosity oils is expressed with two numbers (e.g., 10W-30), indicating its flow characteristics in both cold and hot conditions.

Does it matter what oil goes into a lawnmower?

The weight is important. Some call for straight 30 , other call for a multiviscosity ie: 10w30. If it is a standard push mower it is probably straight 30. If it is a rider with a oil filter it probably needs 10w30. If you are unsure, reask question with type and size of mower.


What type of oil to use in 2000 jeep Cherokee when towing?

I would recommend that you use the oil that you use every day, assuming that it's a multiviscosity, high quality oil. Some will tell you to use a synthetic oil but I don't believe that it's necessary. If you change your oil and filter every 3000 miles, as you should anyway, your engine will be happy. It is a good idea to have a transmission oil cooler when towing but that's a separate subject.


What is 5w-20 motor oil?

SAE 5W-20 motor oil is a multiviscosity or " all weather " graded oil that provides a wider temperature range of use , and permits you to drive from one climate extreme to another ( My Quaker State motor oil book sure comes in handy ) On newer vehicles the manufacturer may require you to use a 5W-20 oil in your engine - check your owner's manual (Helpfull)

What motor oil for high mileage jeep Cherokee?

Just a plain multiviscosity oil will be fine as long as you change it every 3000 miles or 6 months along with the filter. I don't personally believe that the "high milage oils" are any better than the rest. I DO absolutely believe that regular lube, oil, and filter changes make a big difference.


2005 Jeep Cherokee Limited oil grade and type?

Any good multiviscosity oil will do just fine for you. I would use a 10W30 or 10W40 grade oil and change it every 3000 miles along with the filter. Do that and you'll be fine. Go ahead and spend the money for synthetic oil if you want to but still change it every 3000 miles....but you don't need touse that fancy dancy stuff.


What weight of oil goes into a push lawn mower?

That depends. Is a manual push mower with no motor, or a motorized one? Oil is usually rated by viscosity and I would use a single viscosity oil in a mower. Multiviscosity oils have modifiers to keep them fluid under cold conditions (in a car engine) but still thick when hot. In a mower a 30w oil would be ideal. Use the cheapest oil (in the long run): Amsoil synthetic.
