▶▶ Engine 7-04 Identify and explain the classification systems for engine oil according to oil properties and characteristics.

Oil Classification

Performance standards for oil are established by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The SAE establishes standards for measuring oil viscosity, called the SAE viscosity rating, and the API sets the remaining standards. To be approved for the operating conditions and in use protecting unique technologies of various manufacturers, engine oils classified by the API will carry the API designation, indicating their suitability for an engine application. For example, engines that use highspeed turbochargers and that recirculate exhaust gases into the combustion chamber will
