What Oil Viscosity Grade Should Be Used in Summer?
1 Answers
In summer, it is recommended to use engine oil with viscosity grades of 10W40 or 10W30. While ensuring proper lubrication, choose oil with the smallest possible viscosity based on the temperature range during usage, engine temperature, and actual vehicle condition. The number before the W in oil grade represents cold start performance - the smaller the number, the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity. The number after W indicates the oil's kinematic viscosity - the higher the value, the greater the viscosity. Engine oil consists of base oil and additives, serving the following functions: 1. Reducing friction and high temperatures; 2. Cooling and temperature reduction; 3. Cleaning; 4. Shock absorption; 5. Rust and corrosion prevention.
