Generally, kinematic viscosity is expressed by m²/s Where η is the dynamic viscosity of oil & ρ is the density of the medium. The kinematic viscosity of any medium would be found by following the formula: The unit of kinematic viscosity is Stokes (St) or Centistokes (cSt).
Kinematic viscosity is the oil resistance to flow created internally due to shear & gravity. And the measurement of viscosity is also different for these two types of viscosity. Oil viscosity units are different for both types. There are two types of viscosity, one is kinematic viscosity & another is dynamic viscosity. Just like this if any oil moves more slowly than other oil, that means the oil is more viscous than the other oil. For example, if you pour Olive oil & Honey from the same place then you will see that olive oil is going faster than honey, this is because of the higher viscosity of honey. Shortly you can also say that viscosity is the internal resistance of oil to flow. Viscosity is the internal resistance to the flow of a fluid or this is the basic parameter of oil or any fluid by which we can understand how much thicker or thinner the oil is.
