Is 50 Oil Suitable for Summer or Winter?
1 Answers
Oil with the number 50 after the "W" indicates higher viscosity. Summer is a season of high temperatures, and such oil can provide high-temperature protection. Therefore, 50 viscosity oil is suitable for use in summer. Whether it can be used in winter depends on the number before the "W". Below is a detailed introduction to oil model types: 1. High-temperature type: such as SAE20-SAE50, where the number represents the viscosity at 100*C; the higher the number, the higher the viscosity. 2. Low-temperature type: such as SAEOW-SAE25W, where "W" indicates use only in winter, and the smaller the number, the lower the viscosity and the better the low-temperature fluidity. 3. All-weather type: such as SAE15W/40, 10W/40, 5W/50, indicating that the viscosity grade at low temperatures meets the requirements of SAE15W, 10W, and 5W respectively, and the viscosity grade at high temperatures meets the requirements of SAE40 and 50, making it suitable for both winter and summer.
