What Are The Implications Of 5w30 Or 5w40 Instead Of 5w20 Engine Oil. by alatbaba1(m): 11:44am On Oct 03, 2018 |
what are the implications of 5w30 or 5w40 instead of 5w20 engine oil. my boss own a ford explorer 2014, the manual states that only 5w20 should be used for servicing. he is a very sensitive man when it comes to car maintenance and other related car issue. the mechanic he is using said 5w30 is okay. but he insist on 5w20. we have searched the whole of kano to no avail. total or Mobil have it on their website bit not available in d market. pls help me. cos my job depends on dis car getting serviced.

I believe the OP asked two questions. One being more important and potentially very enlightening and informative than the other, but trust marketers to ignore and go for the other. 3 Likes |

HenryWilliams: some questions are better not answered when there are solutions available. What if Oga says let me see the Gallon you used? |

First, I'll explain what the numbers in 5w20 and 5w40 mean. The 5 means that the oil will flow at zero celsius the same way a 5-weight oil would. The 20 and 40 mean that the oil will flow like a 20 and 40-weight respectively at engine operating temperature (180-195C usually). The actual viscosity of the oil is therefore the SECOND number. The first number just indicates how resistant it is to cold. Remember that even 50-weight oil is thinner at engine temperature than 0-weight is when cold. As a result, 5w30 and 10w30 are essentially equal unless it's the dead of winter in which case a small difference might exist. culled from quora let your Oga use 5w30. 1 Like |

HenryWilliams: Even Vegetable oil can serve as engine oil!!! Atleast engine will not knock since the vegetable oil will serve as lubricant. Hope you know i could post some gibberish off my head on nairaland, next year somebody might search google on something related to the gibberish and my gibberish post on Nairaland pops up. They then copy and Disclaimer I am not saying what Jarkbauer quoted is gibberish 2 Likes |
