SAE Classication
In the SAE classication, oils differ on the basis of their
viscosity, and no other qualitative characteristic is taken
intoaccount.
The rst number refers to the viscosity when the engine
is cold (symbol W = winter), while the second considers
viscositywiththeengineatrégime.
Thecriteriaforchoosingmustconsider,duringwinter,the
lowestoutsidetemperaturetowhichtheenginewillbesubject
andthehighestfunctioningtemperatureduringsummer.
Single-degree oils are normally used when the running
temperaturevariesscarcely.
Multi-degreeoilislesssensitivetotemperaturechanges.

Codesareusuallyprinted-outontheoilcontainerandtheunderstandingoftheirmeaningisusefulforcomparingdifferentbrands
andchoosingthekindwiththerightcharacteristics.
