The answer to this question is difficult to determine as there are a variety of factors to consider. One factor is the weight of the oil. A 40/1 oil is heavier than a 50/1 oil, so it would require a higher engine speed to produce the same level of results. Additionally, a 40/1 oil will have a longer lasting effect, so it would be more beneficial to use it in a engine that is more often used.
