Is choosing a viscosity index the same as ISO?
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is the standard that defines oil viscosity classifications. It provides a standardized grading system of lubricant viscosity called ISO VG (viscosity grade). Viscosity index (VI), on the other hand, is a measure of the change in oil viscosity with temperature. It quantifies the change in oil viscosity at different operating…
