Does olive oil or motor oil have greater viscosity?
Motor oil typically has greater viscosity than olive oil. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, and motor oil is designed to have a higher viscosity in order to protect the engine's moving parts at high temperatures and speeds.
What is the difference between viscosity and viscosity index?
Viscosity is resistance to flow of oil Viscosity Index is a scale to measure viscosity
Oil viscosity for 2000 explorer with 4.0L engine?
5W-30 is the preferred oil viscosity
Is Ostwalds viscometer used to measure viscosity of more viscous oil?
Yes, the Ostwalds viscometer can be used to measure the viscosity of more viscous oil.
Is change oil light in a 2009 Grand Caravan work on miles or oil viscosity?
A factor of miles, engine hours, average speed, temperatures. It does not directly measure the oil though.A factor of miles, engine hours, average speed, temperatures. It does not directly measure the oil though.
How do you Engine Oil?
Well Engine oil manufacturers keep the manufacturing techniques secrets with each others. Most motor oils are made from a heavier, thicker petroleum hydrocarbon base stock derived from crude oil, with additives to improve certain properties. The bulk of a typical motor oil consists of hydrocarbons with between 18 and 34 carbon atoms per molecule. One of the most important properties of motor oil in maintaining a lubricating film between moving parts is its viscosity. The viscosity of a liquid can be thought of as its "thickness" or a measure of its resistance to flow. The viscosity must be high enough to maintain a lubricating film, but low enough that the oil can flow around the engine parts under all conditions. The viscosity index is a measure of how much the oil's viscosity changes as temperature changes. A higher viscosity index indicates the viscosity changes less with temperature than a lower viscosity index.

What is viscocsity?
Viscosity is a measure of a fluids resistance to flow. Is is a measure of how 'thick' a liquid is. For example, oil has a greater viscosity than water.
What does 30 means in 5w-30 engine oil?
The 5 and 30 refer to the relative viscosity of the oil when it is cold (5W) and when it is hot (30W). A 5W-30 oil behaves like a 5W thin viscosity oil when the engine is cold, and it behaves like a 30W thicker viscosity oil when the engine is hot. A very thin viscosity is undesirable in a hot engine. In very high temperature situations, an even higher viscosity range, up to 50W, might be called for. Always go by the engine manufacturers recommendations.
