📖Oil Toughness Code:

Oil density code, for example like SAE 15W-40, indicates how dense or thin an oil is at a certain temperature.

This is important because the thickness of oil greatly affects the performance of the engine.

⚙️Meaning of Numbers and Alphabets

✍️*SAE: Abbreviated for Society of Automotive Engineers, an organization that sets the standard for the automotive industry.

✍️* Numbers before W: Indicates the concentration of oil at cold temperatures. The smaller the numbers, the more oil expands at cold temperatures.

✍️*W: Stands for "Winter" or Winter.
✍️*Numbers after W: Indicates the concentration of oil at high temperatures. The bigger the numbers, the thicker the oil at higher temperatures.

⚙️Example: SAE 15W-40

✍️* 15W: It means that this oil is sufficiently soluble to be used at temperatures up to -15 degrees Celcius.

✍️* 40: It means that this oil is thick enough to protect the engine at a high temperature, about 100 degrees Celsius.

⚙️Why Code of Strength is Important?

✍️* Lubrication: Excessive oil cannot provide adequate lubrication to engine components, causing friction and wear.

✍️* Cooling: Excessive oil can block heat flow, causing engines to heat quickly.

✍️* Efficiency: Oils with the right density can improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.

⚙️It's important to choose an oil hardness code that matches your vehicle's manufacturer's recommendations. Factors to consider include:

✍️* Environmental Temperature: In areas with extreme temperatures, you may need to use oils with a wider concentration ranges.

✍️* Engine type: Older or high mileage engines may need higher density oil.
