2.4.1 SAE oil classification
• In the SAE classification, oils are identified according to viscosity without considering any other
qualitative characteristic.
• The code is composed of two numbers, which indicate, and must correspond to, the ambient
temperature in which the engine operates, the first number refers to the viscosity when cold, for use
during winter ("W"), while the second number is for viscosity at high temperatures.
