Sorry if this is a really dummy/noob/already asked question
So let's simulate a situation where we've got 2 anonymous samples oil.
Both oils are
- 5w30
- Full Synthetic
- D1G2
As a guinea pig for it's application, let's use a typical GDI engine which might or might not have a fuel dilution problem.
Here is the limited amount of specs we know about oils:
Sample A
Viscosity @ 100ºC, cSt 11.0
Viscosity, @ 40ºC, cSt 61.7
Viscosity Index 172
Pour Point, ºC -42
Flash Point, ºC 230
Sample B
Viscosity @ 100ºC, cSt 9.8
Viscosity, @ 40ºC, cSt 53.9
Viscosity Index 170
Pour Point, ºC -48
Flash Point, ºC 207
Which oil do you think is better in the application and why?
Disclaimer: both specs are from name brand oils, I'm just trying to understand what matters if we forget about brands.
