SAE 20, 30, 40… think you know these numbers? Think again. Behind the labels lies steam-era labs, stopwatches, and a viscosity index myth. Time to see how engine physics crushes marketing tales. #MotorOil #Tribology #SAE #Viscosity #Engine #OilMyths

SAE 30 - это что? А индекс? Странные числа, странные температуры - 40°C, 100°C.. Но почему? Зачем?
