the bigger the number the larger the smallest particals will be. so a 5w 30 oil will have no particals smaller then, ummm, 5? (what ever) and none larger than...30.
i have no clue how the numbers are measured or what ever, but yeah
Particles ? Its actually Viscosity.
Quote »The viscosity grade (for example, 5W-30) tells you the oil's thickness, or viscosity. A thin oil has a lower number and flows more easily, while thick oils have a higher number and are more resistant to flow. Water has a very low viscosity -- it is thin and flows easily. Honey has a very high viscosity -- it is thick and gooey.[/quote]1st number is viscosity when oil is cold, second number is when it is hot.
I use Mobil 1 5W30, but I am going to try 0W30 at next oil change.
