What is the difference between 5W-30 and 10W-40?
1 Answers
The differences between 5W-30 and 10W-40 are as follows: 1. Different viscosity. The number after the letter W indicates the viscosity characteristics of the oil at high temperatures. 10W-40 oil has a higher viscosity than 5W-30. High-viscosity oil may be more suitable for high-speed driving or heavy-duty vehicles. 2. Different low-temperature fluidity. Oil starting with 5W has better low-temperature fluidity and can be used in colder regions. Oil starting with 5W can handle environments above -30 degrees Celsius, while 10W can only be used above -25 degrees Celsius.
