Can we use 10W50 instead of 15w50?

It will actually have an effect. Running a thinner weight oil means it’ll be better protected at cooler temps.. not at the higher end of the temperature scale.

What is 15w50 oil used for?

15W-50 has historically been a viscosity recommended for high performance engines, and is used today primarily in motorsports racing where engines are stressed due to high revving and heat.

Is 10W40 better than 15w50?

At low temperature the 10W oil will flow better than a 15W oil. So the 15W-50 oil is “thicker” at cold temperatures than the 10W-40, therefore it will flow worse on start up; but being a little “thicker” it and maintains its viscosity at high temperatures better than the 10W-40.

What is 10W50 oil used for?

10W50 oil is a high-performance engine oil that offers outstanding engine reliability and temperature stability under extreme driving conditions. It’s used for a wide range of motorsports and modern engines with turbochargers.

Can we use 10W50 in Royal Enfield?

The recommended engine oil for Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 is Fully synthetic SAE 10W-50 to API SL (or higher) or JASO MA2. For more details, you may connect with the nearest authorized service center in your city.

Which is better 15w50 or 20w50?

Yes,it would not make much difference. Important thing is to get the last digit,ie 50 correct. First digits are an indication of normal temperature viscosity or in layman terms how easy it would be to start the engine. But like I said it would be fine to interchange 20w50 with 15w50.

What vehicle takes 15W-50?

Applications. Mobil 1 15W-50 is recommended for all types of vehicles, suitable for use in high-performance turbo-charged, supercharged gasoline and diesel multi-valve fuel injected engines found in passenger cars, light vans and trucks.

Which oil viscosity is better for warm climates?

A 30 grade oil, thick enough to protect in the heat, was recommended for summer use. Then, multi-grade oils were formulated. A 10W-30 had the winter cold start flow properties of a 10W and the summer, high-temperature thickness of a 30 grade.

Should I use thicker oil in an older engine?

A: Yes. This is a practical method to improve oil pressure in an older, high-mileage engine. The slightly thicker oil film from the heavier base weight oil — 10W — can help protect worn engine bearings as well.
