Oil... how does it work? [split]

SAE 50 is thicker than SAE 10 at any given temp.

But you’re trying to compare them AT THE SAME TEMPERATURE!!!

Again, what’s thicker, an SAE 5 at zero degrees, or an SAE 30 at 210 degrees?

It’s 100 percent, without a doubt SAE 5.

You don’t understand how multigrade oils are rated.
