What is the difference between Repsol Moto Racing 10w50 and 10w40?
1 Answers
Introduction to the differences between Repsol Moto Racing 10w50 and 10w40: 1. At idle: Compared to 10w40, 10w50 has higher oil viscosity and better sealing performance, resulting in higher fuel consumption by the engine. Higher oil viscosity also leads to lower noise levels. 2. While driving: Oil with higher viscosity produces more noise, while lower viscosity oil offers better fuel efficiency. 40-grade oil is generally suitable for all seasons, whereas 50-grade is more appropriate for large-displacement vehicles during summer. Additional information: 1. 10w40 refers to the oil's viscosity grade. The number before "w" indicates cold-start performance—the smaller the number, the easier it is to start the engine in cold weather. Common grades include 0W, 5w, 10w, and 15w. 2. The number 40 represents the oil's high-temperature viscosity characteristics. High-viscosity oils (with higher values) may be more suitable for high-speed driving or heavy-load vehicles.
