1 Answers
There are 4 main differences between engine oil 15w40 and 20w50: 1. High-temperature viscosity: The larger the number, the better the high-temperature performance. 2. Low-temperature viscosity: The smaller the number before W, the better the low-temperature performance. 3. 15w40 has better fluidity than 20w50, which can reduce fuel consumption and allow faster engine cooling. 4. 20w50 offers better stability than 15w40 under high engine temperatures. Additional information about engine oil: 1. 20w50 is suitable for temperatures below -18°C. 2. 15w40 has high-temperature limitations and is suitable for use below 40°C, with its maximum applicable temperature dropping to around 15°C.
