What does fully synthetic engine oil 0w40 mean?
1 Answers
The meaning of engine oil 0w40 is as follows: 1. The 0W in 0W-40 indicates the cold-start performance of the engine oil. Using engine oil with a lower number before the W makes it easier to start the engine in cold weather. 2. The 40 in 0W-40 represents the viscosity characteristics of the engine oil at high temperatures. High-viscosity engine oil (with a higher value) may be more suitable for vehicles driving at high speeds or carrying heavy loads. 3. If the engine oil viscosity is higher, the sealing performance is better, but the engine will consume more fuel. At idle, higher viscosity engine oil results in lower noise, while at driving speeds, higher viscosity engine oil produces higher noise. Lower viscosity engine oil, on the other hand, has the characteristic of being more fuel-efficient.
