Oil viscosity (5W-30 is explained here as an example):

● The 5W in 5W-30 indicates the characteristic of the oil which allows

cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow for easier
starting of the engine in cold weather.

● The 30 in 5W-30 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil when

the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity (one with a
higher value) may be better suited if the vehicle is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme load conditions.

How to read oil container label:

The ILSAC (International Lubricant Standardization and Approval
Committee) Certification Mark is added to some oil containers to help
you select the oil you should use.
