How laboratories test motor oil | Banks Speed School Ep 3
How does motor oil get its winter viscosity rating like 5W, 10W, etc? How are foam and aeration tested? How does it hold up to severe oxidation and what corrosion protection does it offer? What effect do oil additives have on metals they claim to protect?
