Lad os tale om "viskositeten", som er den vigtigste indikator formotorolie. En af de mest almindelige indikatorer formotorolie viscosityer SAE-værdien påmotorolie. What do you usually hear about OW-20 and 5W-30, right? There are five common numbers in front of W, which are 0, 5, 10, 20, and 25. The smaller the number, the lower the applicable ambient temperature. There are also 5 common numbers behind W, which represent the highest temperature applicable to the motorolie, which are 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60, which represent the viscosity of the motorolie. This is also the case in motorcycle oil. Most of the motorolie used by European and American motorcycles such as BMW is 5W-40, 15W-50, Harley 20W-50, KTM 10W-50, and Ducati 15W-50. The motoroliesbrugt af Honda og Kawasaki er 0W-30 eller 10W-40. Derfor kan det ses, at europæiske og amerikanske bilproducenter lægger større vægt på køretøjets ydeevne, så designoliens viskositet er lidt højere.
