10W-60 motor oil

Motor oil with viscosity 10W-60

Engine oil with a viscosity of 10W-60 is a high-performance oil that has been specially developed for vehicles that are operated under extreme conditions, such as high-performance or racing engines. The viscosity of an engine oil indicates how fluid or thick the oil is at different temperatures. The first number, ‘10W’, indicates how fluid the oil is at cold temperatures, where ‘W’ stands for winter. A value of 10W means that the oil is still relatively thin at cold temperatures in order to provide sufficient protection during cold starts.

The second number, ‘60’, is an indicator of how thick the oil remains at operating temperature. A high value such as 60 indicates that the oil remains particularly viscous at high temperatures, which offers very strong protection against wear. This is particularly important for engines that operate under high loads and temperatures, such as in sports cars, racing cars or motorbikes with high performance.

10W-60 engine oil is often used in high-performance vehicles designed for extreme conditions. It ensures that the engine remains optimally protected even during intensive use, such as at high speeds or extreme temperatures. Manufacturers such as BMW and Ferrari often recommend 10W-60 for certain high performance models as it helps to maximise engine performance while minimising wear in extreme conditions. This oil is ideal for drivers seeking maximum performance and protection for their powerful engines.
