The original viscosity grades were all single-grade, e.g. a typical motor oil of this type was SAE 30. This was the operating temperature viscosity. The higher the number of single-stage oils, […]
Do tyres have expiry date? For years, drivers rely on thread depth to determine when a tyre is due change. Even when thread wears to the wear mark, they still think the tyre is good to drive which may be a fatal mistake. The old tyres are dangerous despite the thread depth [...]
