Which Cars Use 15w50 Engine Oil?
1 Answers
Household cars use 15w50 engine oil. In 15w50, 15 represents the minimum applicable temperature of the oil at -20 degrees Celsius, W stands for Winter, and 50 indicates the high-temperature viscosity of the oil, with a kinematic viscosity of 19cst when the engine is at 100 degrees Celsius. This type of oil is suitable for both winter and summer use, and its quality is also guaranteed. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, dampen shocks, and resist wear in the engine. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, imparting certain new properties.
