What is the difference between 30 and 40 engine oil viscosity?
1 Answers
The differences between 30 and 40 engine oil viscosity are: 1. 30-grade oil has lower viscosity than 40-grade; 2. 30-grade oil is suitable for higher ambient temperatures than 40-grade; 3. 30-grade oil has better fluidity than 40-grade, which can further reduce fuel consumption; 4. 40-grade oil provides better stability than 30-grade. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To separate the surfaces of relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear; 2. To bring heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air to help the radiator cool the engine; 3. To circulate carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine parts back to the oil tank, flushing away contaminants generated on the working surfaces of parts through the flow of lubricating oil.
