Operation: What are the differences between the various oils?

In this video we will see many of our doubts cleared up about multi-grade oils to be used in our engine: the numbers before and after the "W" indicate the minimum and maximum temperature at which the oil remains fluid or viscous. For example, a 5W40 indicates that the oil will remain fluid up to 5 degrees Celsius and viscous up to 40 degrees Celsius. Usually the 5W30 is more suitable for high mileage vehicles because, being a less refined oil, it tends to fill any engine imperfections. The acronym SAE stands for Society of Automotive Engineers, but we also find the API codes where we find a letter followed by a number (S for gasoline and C for diesel) and another letter, the higher it is, the better the quality of the oil. ACEA codes are composed of four letters: ABC and E, where A stands for gasoline, B for diesel, C for engines with after-treatment and E for heavy-duty diesel engines. They are followed by a number; the higher it is, the better the quality of the lubricant. Synthetic oils are now suitable for all types of vehicles: the important thing is to check the lubricant level frequently and use quality products.
