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.

For example; if you have a SAE 10 motor oil it will flow like a 10W at the colder temperature. But at 210 degrees it will be a SAE 10 giving us a 10W-10 or SAE 10 viscosity rating. Obviously this is good at cold start up, but terrible at engine operating temperature especially in warmer climates.he numbers without the W are all tested at 210Â° F or 100Â° C which is considered an approximation of engine operating temperature. In other words, a SAE 30 motor oil is the same viscosity as a 10w-30 or 5W-30 at 210Â° (100Â° C).
