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.
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: The difference between 5w30 and 10w30 is that 5w30 flows better at colder temperature. 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.

The number before the 'W' is the 'cold' viscosity rating of the oil, and the number after the 'W' is the 'hot' viscosity rating. So a 5W40 oil is one that behaves like a 5-rated single grade oil when cold, but doesn't thin any more than a 40-rated single grade oil when hot.
