Who makes 15W-50 oil?

Mobil 1
Mobil 1 15W‐50 is a higher viscosity oil that delivers a thick oil film for protection of high‐performance engines.

Which is better 15W40 or 15W50?

Is 15w50 thicker than 15w40? Yes, the 15w-50 oil’s viscosity is more than the 15w-40. 15w-50 will perform better due to high viscosity at high temperature than 15w-40. Moreover, these grades are considered multigrade oils which perform well no matter the seasons or conditions they are exposed to.

Which is better either 10W 40 or 15W-50 for engine oil viscosity?

Viscosity or thickness of the oil increases with rise in temperature. A 10W40 oil will be thicker in the cold than 15W40 oil, but they will have the same viscosities at higher temperatures. The winter viscosity number dictates cold-start performance. 10W40 oil will perform cold starts better than 15W40 oil.

Is 10W-40 too thick?

Multi-grade oils could stay as close to the optimum viscosity over a range of temperatures – not too thick when it is cold and not too thin when it is hot. The difference between 10W-30 and a 10W-40 is the high temperature viscosity. Obviously, a 10W-40 is thicker than a 10W-30 at high temperature.

What is 10W 50 oil used for?

Our engine oil of the SAE classification 10W50 is a high-performance special oil for 4-stroke motorcycles of leading European and Japanese manufacturers. Synthetic base oil components in combination with successfully tested additives guarantee high performance.

Can I use 10w30 instead of 15W40?

Because 10W-30 is thinner than 15W-40 oil, its film strength can be weaker and it can be more prone to oxidation. High quality 10W-30 oils can perform as well, and better than industry-standard 15W-40 oils.

Can you mix 15W40 and 15w50?

There is absolutely no harm in mixing different grades of engine oil! This means that any branded engine oil will mix with the standard test oil in any proportions and the mixture will still perform as specified.

Which oil is thicker 10w40 or 15W40?

When it’s cold, 15W40 is only heavier than 10W40. The thickness over temperature is referred to by the two numbers. They are the same weight in hot weather.

When to use 15w50 oil?

Mobil 15W-50 oils. Mobil™ 15W-50 oils are especially suited for a wide variety of motorsports applications, towing and other severe service situations. We offer Mobil 1™ 15W-50 synthetic oil for use in extreme engine stress conditions where conventional oil often may not perform.
