In petrol (gasoline) engines, the top piston ring can expose the motor oil to temperatures of 160 Â°C (320 Â°F). In diesel engines the top ring can expose the oil to temperatures over 315 Â°C (600 Â°F). Motor oils with higher viscosity indices thin less at these higher temperatures.
Viscosity (a fluid's resistance to flow) is rated at 0Â° F (represented by the number preceding the W [for Winter]) and at 212Â° F (represented by the second number in the viscosity designation). So 10W-30 oil has less viscosity when cold and hot than does 20W-50. Motor oil thins as it heats and thickens as it cools.So, with the right additives to help it resist thinning too much, an oil can be rated for one viscosity when cold, another when hot.t might seem simple to pick engine oil for your car. You just look for the starburst symbol that indicates the oil has been tested and meets the standards of the American Petroleum Institute (API). In addition, there's a 2-character service designation on the container.
