What does the oil grade 0W20 mean?
1 Answers
The W in 0W20 oil grade stands for WINTER. The number before W represents the freezing point temperature. The number after W represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C, and 20 indicates that the oil grade is the lowest level. Below is a detailed introduction about oil grades: 1. Overview: Oil grades include two parts: classification and viscosity specification. Oil grades usually indicate viscosity and quality. 2. Meaning: W stands for winter. The smaller the number before W, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the oil, indicating a lower usable environmental temperature and better protection for the engine during cold starts. The number after W is an indicator of the oil's high-temperature resistance. The larger the number, the better the oil's protective performance at high temperatures.
