Well it would quite possibly help me make a decision as to what motor oil to buy depending on the climate/season.How does it matter to you to know how temperature affects viscosity of oil? Why would you care?
Maybe you might want to, oh, make almost anything with lubricated moving parts? Like a car, or an airplane, or an elevator? If you don't know how temperature effects the oil, the engine (etc.) may sieze up, causing catastrophic system failure.
in various tpes of hydraulic equipment not knowing the temperature of the oil your using may burn or overheat
the motor or pump running the system, To cold and the oil circulates slower and does'nt lubricate internal moving
parts , and if it's to hot oil breaks down becoming thinner
losing its viscousity and lubricating properties. This also
causes internal parts and bearings to overheat,sometimes,
causing explosive results and if you have wrong place, wrong time syndrome , you may earn the nickname stubby.
Ever have to buy an engine for your car? I didn't think so.
The thickness of oil needs to vary in different temps and climates. Thicker oils should be used for hotter seasons or climates whereas thinner oil is better in the cold. It will make your engine last longer.
