Serious question?

Viscosity is measured at 2 temps. 40C and 100C.

So it acts lke a 20 at 40C (104F), the cold temp and at 100C (212F) it has thinned and is a 50.

Thrre are molecules in the oil that physically change shape w temp to help the natural effects at work.

Same same, right?



Only 43 more states to go!

It WILL leave a mark.
