I wonder how they convert gas to oil?

 

I got my own source of natural gas.

I have only used OWS engine oil once and went on to more reputable brands.

 

So you used it twice then. First time and last time.

in our local context, we should only look at the W40 or W30 right?

the first number, not applicable ?

Thats right. The first number is how the oil flows in cold weather.

 

Our weather never below 20C so not applicable to us at all.

theres a guideline to the type of oil to be used on a car.

 

1) specifications of the manufacturer e.g. API/MB/VW/Porsche/....

2) weight, based on kilometers on the car.

3) purpose/use of the vehicle.

4) original factory manual for readings.

 

all those 3 contribute to giving you the 'right' answer.

 

i run one oil for track and one oil for street.
