1 Answers
10w40 and 10w50 engine oils differ in viscosity. The 10w50 oil has higher viscosity compared to 10w40. Here are some key points about engine oil: 1. Types: Engine oils are classified into three categories - full synthetic oil, semi-synthetic oil, and mineral oil. 2. Oil specifications: Oil packaging displays codes like 5w30, 0w20, 5w40, which indicate the oil grade. The 'w' stands for winter, meaning the oil can be used during winter if it contains this letter.
