What Types of Vehicles Are Suitable for 10W50 Engine Oil?
1 Answers
10W50 engine oil has higher high-temperature viscosity and better lubrication performance, making it more suitable for older vehicles with significant wear or those equipped with high-performance, large-displacement engines. Below are the relevant details: 1. Reason: Due to the relatively severe wear in older engines, the gaps between engine components are larger. Higher viscosity oil with superior lubrication properties is required to ensure normal engine operation. High-viscosity oil offers more stable performance and better sealing, which can reduce engine noise during driving, making the ride more comfortable and smooth. 2. Additional Information: 10W50 oil does not harm the engine as long as its viscosity meets the engine's requirements. Although this oil has average low-temperature fluidity, its high-temperature lubrication performance is excellent, with high viscosity that can withstand elevated temperatures. However, higher viscosity oil has poorer fluidity and greater resistance, which can increase fuel consumption to some extent—this is its drawback.
