What is viscosity?
Viscosity is often thought of as the “thickness” or sometimes the “body” of an oil. For gas turbine lubricants (jet oils), viscosity is measured as Kinematic Viscosity (KV). Viscosity changes with temperature and with pressure exponentially. It becomes much higher at low temperatures and at high pressures.
