Difference between Oiltypes

[Speedsta]

Hi together

Can anyone explain to me, whats the difference of those types

Protection 15W40
GXL 10W40
TXT 5W30
SLX 0W30
RS 10W60

Im actually drivin with 10w40, would it be better to change to another? what do you drive with? I wanna change, cuz i get a BRAND NEW ENGINE :D the old one wrecked cuz of an empty oiltank (yea i now, i should have to take a look sometimes...)

XW-Y is a specification of the operating temperature for the oil....X being the viscosity(flow of fluid) when at low temperatures and Y being the viscosity at high temperatures....
It all depends on the temperature where u live....it's better to have a a larger operating range in cold temperatures coz the oil needs to flow into the engine quite well. but if u live in a hot area consider a more thicker oil.....i use Shell Helix Plus 10W-40....it's expensive...ferrari use it.....but good efficient running....
hope this helps

For Celica, 5w-30 is the recommended type and you should use 5w-30....if it is real cold then it won't hurt too much to use 10w-30... but try to stick with 5w-30.. 5w is thinner than 10w and the engine of our car is alminium block, thus thinner the better.
