This is made possible by the inclusion of a polymer, a component which slows down the rate of thinning as the oil warms up and slows down the rate of thickening as the oil cools down.<\/p>\n<p>Multi-grades were first developed some 50 years ago to avoid the routine of using a thinner oil in winter and a thicker oil in summer. For a 10w-40 to attain the specification target a 10W the oil must have a certain maximum viscosity at low temperature. The actual viscosity and the temperature vary with the viscosity grade but in all cases the lower the number, the thinner the oil.<\/p>\n<p>For example a 5W oil is thinner than a 10W oil at temperatures encountered in UK winter conditions. This is important because a thinner oil will circulate faster on cold start, affording better engine protection and therefore lower long term wear! For a 10w-40 to attain the other specification target a 40 themoil must fall within certain limits at 100\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Other Grades&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>API \u2013 American Petroleum Institute<\/li>\n<li>SAE \u2013 Society of Automotive Engineers<\/li>\n<li>SABS \u2013 South African Bureau of Standards<\/li>\n<li>SANS \u2013 South African National Standards<\/li>\n<li>SO \u2013 International Standards Organization<\/li>\n<li>EP \u2013 Extreme Pressure<\/li>\n<li>MIL-L \u2013 American Military Specification<\/li>\n<li>I.G.O \u2013 Industrial Gear Oil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;CF, CH, CI etc.&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>C \u2013 Stands for Combustion.
