How to Understand the Grade of Motor Oil?
1 Answers
Methods to understand the grade of motor oil: 1. Quality grade classification: The S-series represents oil for gasoline engines, while the C-series represents oil for diesel engines. From SA up to SN, each increasing letter indicates better performance than the previous one, with letters further back in the alphabet representing higher quality grades. 2. Viscosity grade classification: The 'W' stands for Winter, and the smaller the number before the 'W', the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity. Motor oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. Motor oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives.
