Engine Oil
Engine Oil is identified by its Quality
and its Viscosity Grade. "Quality"
and "Specification" are equivalent
terms in this respect. Engine Oil
Quality is more important than
Viscosity when selecting which
Engine Oil to use. The Oil Quality
ensures e.g. engine cleanliness,
wear protection and oil aging control,
whereas Viscosity Grade gives
information on the oil’s thickness
over a temperature range.
