Heat Ratings. The output of a radiator is measured in British Thermal Units (BTU.s) per hour. (So is air-conditioning, come to that!) 3000 BTU is roughly equivalent to a 1 kilowatt bar heater, just to give you some idea.

If you live in a place where it gets cold often, or during the winter time, you will get better results using 5w30.Otherwise 10w30 oil is good enough, i usually use 5w30 all year round.ating Newest Oldest.

So 5W-30 viscosity engine oil thickens less in the cold than a 10W-30, but more than a 0W-30. An engine in a colder climate, where motor oil tends to thicken because of lower temperatures, would benefit from 0W or 5W viscosity. A car in Death Valley would need a higher number to keep the oil from thinning out too much.or example, 10W-30 oil will thin out at higher temperatures faster than 10W-40 will. The owner's manual will advise the best viscosity range and the owner can then work within those parameters. With the right viscosity in mind, it's time to start shopping for a type of oil.
