What is the difference between 15w-40 and 20w-50?
1 Answers
Here are the differences between 15w-40 and 20w-50: 1. Different properties: For the 20w50 specification, 20 represents the minimum applicable temperature of the oil at -15 degrees Celsius, while the 15 in 15w-40 represents the minimum applicable temperature of the oil at -10 degrees Celsius. 2. Different viscosity: 20w50 oil belongs to multi-grade viscosity oil, while 15w-40 does not. 3. Different values: The W in the label represents Winter, and the number before it indicates the low-temperature fluidity of the oil. The smaller the number, the better the low-temperature fluidity. The number after W represents the viscosity grade of the oil at 100°C. The larger this number, the better the protection the oil provides to the engine at high temperatures.
