Is it better to have thicker or thinner oil?

Thin oils have lower viscosity and pour more easily at low temperatures than thicker oils that have a higher viscosity. Thin oils reduce friction in engines and help engines start quickly during cold weather. Thick oils are better at maintaining film strength and oil pressure at high temperatures and loads.

Do LPG cars need different oil?

This being, the case, most LPG vehicles have been converted and therefore it is important that the correct oil specification and viscosity is used. If the specifications and viscosity are not compatible with HPR Gas 10 or HPR Gas 20W-60, then the recommended oil should be used as per the Product Selector.

Does thicker oil burn more gas?

The thicker that oil is, the more energy it takes to pump that oil, which uses fuel. “So the difference between an XW-30 and a XW-40, you see a fuel economy different more related to the 30 vs.

Which oil viscosity is best?

Weather Conditions For very cold weather, a viscosity rating of 5W-30 provides maximum protection. When driving in temperatures running from 0 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit, a rating of 10W-30 offers excellent all around protection. For driving in extremely hot conditions, 20W-50 oil offers the best protection.

Do propane engines need special oil?

In addition, engines fueled by propane autogas require less oil by volume than diesel and no additional diesel emission fluids or extra valve adjustments. There are a few differences to consider. When depressurizing the fuel lines in a propane vehicle, follow manufacturer recommended procedures.

Do LPG engines run hotter?

An LPG engine will heat up faster due to the cylinder head temperature, even with a cold engine. Petrol engines take a while to warm up, so this is a good thing for engines.
