ENGINE OIL
SAE VISCOSITY RATING INDICATES ENGINE OIL VISCOSITY
An SAE viscosity grade is used to specify the vis-
cosity of engine oil. SAE 30 specifies a single viscos-
ity
engine
oil.
Engine
oils
also
have
multiple
viscosities. These are specified with a dual SAE vis-
cosity grade which indicates the cold-to-hot tempera-
ture viscosity range.
•
SAE 30 = single grade engine oil.
•
SAE 10W-30 = multiple grade engine oil.
DaimlerChrysler
Corporation
only
recommends
multiple grade engine oils.
