The reason I made an account on this website was to finally learn about motor oil; the importance of regular oil changes, using the correct oil, and other things I could learn from you all about oil.
So, I have to confess that I always thought the "W" stood for weight (i.e. 0W20). But, since I have been a member on BITOG, I have began reading other online articles on motor oil, too, and that's how I just figured out the "W" stands for Winter. In fact thinking back all those years, I have heard people refer to oil as 10 weight 40 (10W40) etc.
Anyways, I learned more about oil in the past week or so, than I have in decades. I am sure this has already been talked about a million times, but I couldn't find anything, probably me not searching properly. Thank you.
