Did
you know that the most important way to keep your vehicle healthy and out of
the shop is to keep it clean and lubricated? Changing your oil and filters on a
regular basis is a maintenance “must” when it comes to keeping your car on the
road.
You
see those cryptic combinations of letters and numbers on motor oil bottles
everywhere. What do they mean?
To
decipher them, you have to understand viscosity. Viscosity measures how much
the motor oil can resist flow. In other words, if you tip a motor oil bottle
over, how fast it spills out indicates its viscosity. The more viscous, the
slower it moves.
