What is the detailed explanation of automotive engine oil grades?
1 Answers
Automotive engine oil grades can be explained through the following aspects: W: 15W-40, 5W-40 - The 'W' stands for Winter. The smaller the number before W, the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity and engine protection capability. The number after W: The number following W represents the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100°C. A higher number indicates higher viscosity. 40: 40 indicates that the kinematic viscosity standard at 100°C is between 12.5mm2/s and 16.3mm2/s.
