SAE oil viscosity chart
We have tried to explain sae oil viscosity with the help of 4 tables or charts.We have shown SAE viscosity of single grade,multi grade oils at both low temprature and high temprature.
You can also see cranking and pumping data.If you dont know the full form of SAE,it is Society of automotive enginners
SAE oil viscosity chart at low temprature
In this table you see cranking,pumping,kinematics(cst) of ow,5w,10w,15w,20w,25w at 100 degree celcius.
| SAE Viscosity | Cranking max | Pumping max | Kinematic (cST) 100 degree celcius min |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0W | 3250 @-30 | 60000 @-40 | 3.8 |
| 5W | 3500 @-25 | 60000 @-35 | 3.8 |
| 10W | 3500 @-20 | 60000 @-30 | 4.1 |
| 15W | 3500 @-15 | 60000 @-25 | 5.6 |
| 20W | 4500 @-10 | 60000 @-20 | 5.6 |
| 25W | 6000 @-5 | 60000 @-15 | 9.3 |
SAE oil viscosity chart at high temprature
You can see SAE viscosity in kinematic(cst) of 20,30,40,50,60 at 100 degree celcius.
| SAE Viscosity | Kinematic (cST) 100 degree celcius min |
Kinematic (cST) 100 degree celcius max |
|---|---|---|
| 20 | 5.6 | <9.3 |
| 30 | 9.3 | <12.5 |
| 40 | 12.5 | <16.3 |
| 50 | 16.3 | <21.9 |
| 60 | 21.9 | <26.1 |
