What is the shear value of Castrol Edge 5w30?
1 Answers
Castrol Edge 5w30 shear value is 11.84. Lubricant high-temperature shear value: The high-temperature shear value of lubricating oil is HTHS, which refers to the oil film strength of the lubricating oil under high shear conditions at 150 degrees Celsius. The higher the value, the greater the strength. When the engine is running, the oil film is less likely to break, providing better protection for the engine. Typically, full synthetic oils require this value to be greater than 3.5. Introduction to Castrol Edge: Edge is claimed to be the most powerful oil in Castrol's product line. Castrol Edge uses advanced Titanium Fluid Technology, which makes the oil harder under extreme pressure, reducing friction and metal separation. When the pressure decreases, the oil returns to its free-flowing state.
