Viscosity

At what temperature does 20W (winter) oil change to 50 SAE oil?

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.

Yes it was.




Now not so much..., are the centigrade temps used for French oil?

Oh, at 100C the oil acts like a straight SAE 50.

At 40C it acts like a straight SAE 20.

It is still thinner at 100, there is no escaping heat.
