Hi Oil gurus,
Newbie question here:
Comparing the two Products sheets for
Castrol Import Multi-Vehicle vs Valvoline Maxlife
Valvoline vs Castrol
Based on the 40 deg CSt of 35.1 vs 36.6
Based on the 100 deg CSt 7.25 vs 8.0
Viscosity Index 177 vs 200
Brookfield Viscosity 12,500 vs 13,000
Strictly based on numbers is one better than the other?
Is there some place on this website that shows the meaning of each term? Like is a lower number at 40/100 deg Cst mean lower viscosity. Is a higher Brookfield number mean better resistance to shearing?
The answer I am looking for is strictly an academic one.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
