Motoroil- the dictionary
So you want to talk oil but your not sure what a chemical is or what it does? Or maybe it is a process that you have no clue what it means? Well, here is a link to an online motoroil dictionary so you will now know what someone is talking about. Beware, this link has popups but worth the hassle.

Okay, here's a drill for you. Go to this link, it is for the Phillips Trop Artic oil that was in an earlier thread. Read the data sheet. Note the COLD CRANKING VISCOSITY and also read the high temperature/high shear rating (HT/HS). Note that it is calibrated in cP@___. What does that mean? What does that information tell you? Is the rating on this oil good or bad? Does this oil have good cold flow characteristics or os it an oil that is great for summer but sucks for cold winter environments?

I can tell I started out too elevated with this- sorry, my fault. No, it doesn't mean cold pumping. Notice that the "c" is small case. It stands for centi. Centi as in centi- meter, etc. It is a measurement. The "P" is large case and means Poise. Now if you will look these terms up in the dictionary, you will be able to read, not necessarily understand but it is a start, the info in the sheet.
Hopefully, I can dedicate the time to this project so that maybe some of you will learn how to read an analysis and understand the basics of the chemistry of motoroil.
