Tables shown on this page are of useful reference when buying a kind of oil.
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.

An SF oil, for instance, is more performing than a SE oil but less performing than a SG one.
LIGHT DUTY DIESEL ENGINES
B1 = Low-viscosity, for frictions reduction
B2 = Standard
B3 =High performances (indirect injection)
B4 = High quality (direct injection)
HEAVY DUTY DIESEL ENGINES
E1 = OBSOLETE
E2 = Standard
E3 = Heavy conditions (Euro 1 - Euro 2 engines )
E4 = Heavy conditions (Euro 1 - Euro 2 - Euro 3 engines )
E5 =High performances in heavy conditions (Euro 1 - Euro 2 - Euro
3 engines )

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.
