What does 10W-40 mean?
This short video will tell you all you need to know about 10W – 40 engine oil.
10W – 40 is used to describe the oil’s thickness. “W” stands for winter. The number before the “W” signifies the viscosity of an oil at low temperatures – for example before you start your engine. The number following the “W” indicates its viscosity at normal operating temperatures when the engine is running. All engine oils have a resistance to flow and all resistance levels have been assigned a number. The 10 number indicates that the oil is thin at low temperatures and better able to operate in cold start and icy conditions.
