5w30 Engine Oil
5w30 Engine Oil
(OP)
Dear All,
I am trying to find the density of 5w30 engine oil at 40 deg c and 100 deg c. Manufactures only give the density at 15 degc for the winter oils. I have been searching around for a couple of hours, and thought about calculating the density from the viscosity, but of course I can only fund the kinematic viscosity...!
Any ideas?

Density will vary manufacturer to manufacturer but a safe guideline that can be found in the Bosch automotive handbook for 5W-30 engine oil is 860kg/m3 at 40degc and 830kg/m3 at 100degc.
Thanks,
