We are in the middle of winter. Oil is sensitive to temperature. As such, winter has a big impact on the oil. Engine wear chances are greater when starting a car on a cold morning than any other time depending on the grade of the engine oil.This is because some oil grades become thicker at a chilling temperature than at an operating temperature. Some oil does not flow easily in cold weather. Not every oil grade is good for cold season. The most important physical property of engine oil is called viscosity. In a lay man’s language, it is referred to as the thickness of oil. This property plays a major role in determining what oil can be used in certain temperature conditions. This is because oil viscosity is a temperature sensitive property. At high temperature, oil flows easily while at low temperature, it flows erratically.This is not difficult to perceive as you may have seen […]
