What are the 3 grades of oil?

What are the 3 grades of oil?

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has developed several viscosity classifications or grades, such as 5W-30, 10W-40 and 15W-50. These viscosity grades designate the specific ranges in which the particular oil falls. The “W” indicates it is suitable for use in cold temperatures.

What type oil is Castrol?

Castrol® EDGE® is an advanced full synthetic motor oil that is liquid engineered using Fluid Titanium Technology to strengthen the oil, reduce friction within the engine and ensure maximum performance across long lasting miles. Getting it right at every oil change is essential.

Which grade of oil is best?

The smaller the number, the better it will flow. So a 5W-30 will flow easier than a 10W-30 at start-up temperatures and a 10W-30 will flow easier than a 10W-40 at normal engine operating temperatures. This is important, as engine oils naturally thicken as they cool and thin as they are heated.

What 10w40 means?

10W-40 is the viscosity, or weight, of the motor oil as defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE for short). A 10W-40 oil has a viscosity grade of 10W at a low temperature and 40 at a higher temperature. What does this mean, exactly? Motor oil thickens when it’s cold and becomes thinner when heated up.

The 10w30 and 10w40 oil options are both acceptable for your car, but if you have a high mileage car, you should use the 10w40 oil. Viscous 10w40 is more viscous than viscous 10w30. Older engines are able to handle higher temperatures and wear and tear more efficiently with thicker oil.
