Introduction

Motor oil viscosity grades play a crucial role in maintaining the health and performance of your vehicle’s engine. Whether you’re a seasoned car enthusiast or a casual driver, understanding these grades is essential. Let’s dive into the details!

What Is Viscosity?

Viscosity refers to the oil’s resistance to flow. It determines how easily the oil circulates through the engine, especially during different temperature conditions. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) established a numerical code to represent oil viscosity at both hot and cold temperatures.

The SAE Viscosity Rating System

The SAE rating consists of two parts: a winter grade (indicated by the letter “W”) and a high-temperature grade. For instance:

  • Winter Grade (W): These oils are suitable for colder climates. Examples include SAE 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, and 25W. The number preceding the “W” indicates the oil’s viscosity at 0°F (-17.8°C).
  • High-Temperature Grade: These oils are designed for warmer conditions. They are labeled with numbers such as SAE 8, 12, 16, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60. These oils maintain their viscosity even at elevated temperatures.
