The greatest common factor is the biggest number that multiplies into making 15w and 21.
So the GCF is 3. We simply pull it out from the problem.

The GCF of 30w and 75w is 15w.
15w means they are the viscosity (flow) when the oil is cold, the -30 and -40 is the viscosity of the oil when hot. Therefore the 15w-30 being the lower Viscosity means it will flow fast then the 15w-40 when the oil is hot.
If you mean: 15w -2(-w+12) then it is 17w -24 when simplified
are you sure you don't mean MINUS 5? 15w^2 - 10w - 5 = ( 3w + 1 ) (5w - 5)
15W-40 15W-40
w = 13 add 28 to 180, then subtract 13 from 180 to balance equation. Then 4w + 11 w = 195. Add 4w + 11w =15w, so 15w=180, divide 180 by 15, w = 13 4(13) -28 + 11(13) + 13 = 180
15w 40 is recommended for this size engine. 10w 40 will suffice if no 15w is available.
Really depends on environment. 15W-40 is common as an "all around" oil for diesel engines, while 5W-40 might be more common in particularly cold environments.
15w 40 engine oil can be used for all temperatures down to -15 deg centergrade !
The weight of the oil when it is cold. The 15w is a thicker oil than the 10w when it is cold.
