Oil / LubricantsWritten by Kevin Schappell
Continued from page 1
Engines need oil that is thin enough for cold starts, and thick enough when engine is hot. Since oil gets thinner when heated, and thicker when cooled, most of us use what are called multi-grade, or multi-viscosity oils. These oils meet SAE specifications for low temperature requirements of a light oil and high temperature requirements of a heavy oil. You will hear them referred to as multi-viscosity, all-season and all-weather oils. An example is a 10W-30, which is commonly found in stores. When choosing oil, always follow manufacturer's recommendation. Wondering how you can save money and protect your vehicle at same time? Consider switching to synthetic oil and changing your oil at greater intervals.
