What Types of Vehicles Are Suitable for 15W50 Engine Oil?
1 Answers
15W50 has a kinematic viscosity standard between 16.3mm2/s and 21.9mm2/s at 100 degrees Celsius. It is suitable for vehicles with high mileage and significant wear, as the increased gap between pistons and cylinders requires higher viscosity oil to maintain proper oil film thickness for lubrication. If the viscosity is too low, the oil may seep into the combustion chamber, leading to oil burning. Here is more information about engine oil: 1. Engine oil is used to protect the engine and extend its lifespan. It lubricates the engine, reduces internal temperatures, and prevents rusting of internal components. 2. Turbocharged engines should use fully synthetic oil, while naturally aspirated engines can use semi-synthetic oil.
