        Viscosity Explained

          Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) developed a scale for both engine (motor oil grades) and transmission oils.
        • 5W 30
          Illustration of 4 levels xw for values ​​of 0-5 and 4 levels xw for values ​​of 20-50 in order
          XW refers to viscosity when cold. The smaller the number the less it thickens when temperatures are cold.

          W stands for ‘winter’

          For example a 0W-20 or 5W-30 oil will make start-up easier and protect engines during drives in cold countries.

          YY refers to viscosity when hot. The bigger the number, the slower the oil thins out when temperatures are Hot.

          For example a 15W-40 or 20W-50 oil is designed to suite drives in hot countries and protect engines during drives in warm regions.
