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.

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.
