Which Motor Oil to Choose

#shorts
Both 5w40 and 10w40 are winter motor oils. So what’s the difference?

In general, the numbers at the front and end refer to the oil viscosity (or thickness) and operating temperature extremes.

The number ’40’ at the end indicates it’s thicker than the average motor, which is 30. This can lubricate an engine even when it’s hot, unlike other oils whose efficiency decreases with heat.

5W40 oil supports higher mileage engines and in locations that experience winters above freezing temperatures. 5W40 is much better than 10W40 in starting your engine at cold temperatures, down to 5 degrees Celsius. But both may be ineffective when used in freezing climates.

Best rule of thumb - don’t expect proper explanation from YouTube

40 weight is 40 weight at operating temp. They'll both protect the engine thebsame at operating temps. 5w-40 will flow better at lower temps.. as the 5w means the viscosity acts like a 5wt at 0C (32⁰F), while still acting like a 40wt at 100C (212⁰F).

5/40 in winter & 10/40 summer if its full synthetic.

Best oil to choose is the one for your engine.

[pineappleboi]

Incorrect. The W is the winter rating. 10w will flow better than 20w in winter. Both are 40, so they will behave the exact same at operating temperatures

In australia normal temperature when hot is around 30 degrees upwards to nearly 40s..so my oil viscosity can be a 30 or 40 if my kms are really high in the 100s and 200s..in winter it can reach just below 10 like 6 to 8 but normally around close to the 10 degrees...so my oil viscosity is 10W...so all up I can use a 10W30 or 10W40..the difference betwwen the 2..is the 40 is much thicker than 30..so if my kilometres are high like over 100ks up to 200ks and over..I recommend you use the 10W40...but 10W30 is perfect as well..when new up all the way to getting close to 100ks and the 200ks..cheers

✔️ Guys Cooking oil mixed with WD40 will make your engine feel like New again ! 💯👌

[michaelshive]

As a former car mechanic, I recommend:

0w40 for cold climates and normal use
5w40 for hot climates and normal use
10w40 for hot climates and heavy use

Or use 10w60, 20w60 or 20w50. Whatever k bye

Dont censor it, its shell Helix Ultra

[rudydaberry]

My car calls for 0w-20 but I live in a desert that gets over 105°F in summer. Should I run thicker oil? Also what’s a good and bad temp for your engine oil

[jikkas]

Which is best oil viscosity Verna diesel

[smartdummy]

Does anyone know what the modern equivalent of 'super premium motor oil'? Is that a synthetic blend or full synthetic?

[mehdic]

My car manufacturer recommends them both
10w40 and 5w40
But for a diesel engine that is well maintained and in warm climate
There’s no benefit in using 5w40
It all comes to the climate you live in

[RandgriZ]

Your Explanation is Not Accurate!!

The only difference of 5w40 and 10w40 is the Cold Start Viscosity.. 5w is thinner than 10w but Both of them have same Viscosity in Operating Temperature "SAE 40" 🌡️.
