    Hello,

    I just read two 5W30 engine oils specs and was curious to understand the numbers, yes I search on google but cannot really understand
    Are higher numbers for instance in viscosity at 40 and 100c° better?
    One is a total 5W30 INEO and the other one is the Mobil1 5W30

    Sorry I forgot to put the pic, here it is

    Not better, or worse. As long as they fall into the range that the engine is engineered for, they're fine.
