Q

What is the meaning of viscosity in terms of oil? Why should one viscosity be used in the winter and a different in the summer?

A

Viscosity is the measure of a liquids resistance to flow.

A winter grade oil is used during cold weather since it was designed to be thin and flow more easily (low viscosity) in low temperatures. In the summer, you swap out the winter oil for a thicker one (higher viscosity) since hot temperatures thin out oil.
