F.6 Engine oil<br />
Engine oil classification<br />
Operating range:<br />
The operating range of an engine oil is determined by SAE class. "SAE" is for the union of American engineers<br />
(Society of Automotives Engineers). The SAE class of an engine oil only informs over the viscosity of the oil (larger<br />
number = more viscous, lower number = more highly liquidly) e.g. to 0W, 10W, 15W, 20, 30, 40. The first<br />
number shows the liquid of cold weather, the second number refers to the fluidity with heat. Complete yearly oils<br />
have usually SAE 10W-40, SAE 15W-40 etc.<br />
Quality of oil:<br />
The quality of an engine oil is specified by the API standard ("American Petroleum Institutes"). The API designation<br />
is to be found on each engine oil bundle. The first letter is always a C.<br />
API C for diesel engines<br />
The second letter is for the quality of the oil. The more highly the letter in the alphabet, the better the quality.<br />
Examples for diesel engine oil:<br />
API CG Engine oil for highest demands, turbo-tested<br />
