    ENGINE OIL

    SAE GRADE RATING INDICATES ENGINE OIL VISCOSITY

    An SAE visco sit y g r a d e is u se d t o sp e cif y t h e vis-

    cosity of engine oil. SAE 30 specifies a single viscos-

    it y en gi ne oil. E n gin e oil s a l so h a ve m ult iple

    viscosit ies. These ar e specified w ith a dual SAE vis-cosity grade which indicat es t he cold-to-hot tempera-

    ture viscosity range.

    S AE 30 = s in gle g r a d e e n g in e oi l.

    SAE 10W-30 = mult iple gra de engine oil.

    API QUALITY CLASSIFICATION

    The AP I Service G ra de specifies the type of perfor-

    mance the engine oil is intended to provide. The API

    Service G ra de specificat ions also a pply to energy con-

    serving engine oils.
