How many types of Shell 5w30 are there?
1 Answers
Shell 5w30 comes in four types: Blue Shell, Yellow Shell, Red Shell, and Gray Shell. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, is composed of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil's performance. Its functions include: 1. Reducing friction and high temperatures; 2. Cooling and temperature reduction; 3. Cleaning and purifying; 4. Shock absorption and cushioning; 5. Rust and corrosion prevention. 5w30 represents the viscosity specification of the oil grade. The number before 'w' indicates cold-start performance, with a smaller number indicating better low-temperature fluidity of the oil. 'w' signifies that it can be used in winter. The number after 'w' represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil, with a higher value indicating higher viscosity.
