What is the viscosity grade of multi-grade engine oil?
1 Answers
There are 16 types of multi-grade oil viscosity grades, which are: 5W-20, 5W-30, 5W-40, 5W-50, 10W-20, etc. The W stands for Winter. Here is some information about multi-grade engine oil: 1. Performance: The W stands for Winter. The smaller the number before the W, the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity, indicating that it can be used in lower environmental temperatures and provides better protection for the engine during cold starts. The number after the W indicates the oil's high-temperature resistance. The larger the number, the better the oil's protective performance at high temperatures. 2. Oil classification: Oil classification is represented by a combination of two letters. The "S" series represents oil for gasoline engines. The general specifications range from SA to SN (in alphabetical order, but there is no SI). Each subsequent letter indicates better performance than the previous one, with more additives in the oil to protect the engine.
