Optional Information

Answer

Hi there,

the 10w30 would be a heavier oil. On a multi viscosity oil, there are those two numbers on the can. The first number is what the viscosity would be at a cold temp, the second is the viscosity at a higher temp ( I think the temps are 40 and 100 c they measure at) So basically, your oils would be the same at around 212 degrees, but at 100 degrees the 5w30 would be thinner than the 10w30.

Hope this helps
