The information in this SAE Recommended Practice has been compiled by Technical Committee 1 (Engine Lubricants) of the SAE Fuels and Lubricants Division. The intent is to provide those concerned with the design and maintenance of two-stroke-cycle engines with a better understanding of the properties of two-stroke-cycle lubricants. Reference is also made to test procedures which may be used to measure the chemical and physical characteristics of these lubricants.

This SAE Standard was developed cooperatively by SAE, ASTM, and API to define and identify Energy Conserving engine oils for passenger cars, vans, sport utility vehicles, and light-duty (3856 kg [8500 LB] GVW or less) trucks.

This SAE Recommended Practice was developed cooperatively by SAE, ASTM, and API to define and identify Energy Conserving or Resource Conserving engine oils for passenger cars, vans, sport utility vehicles, and light-duty (3856 kg [8500 lb] GVW or less) trucks.

This SAE Recommended Practice was developed cooperatively by SAE, ASTM, and API to define and identify energy conserving or resource conserving engine oils for passenger cars, vans, sport utility vehicles, and light-duty (3856 kg [8500 pounds] GVW or less) trucks.

This recommended practice was developed cooperatively by SAE (1), ASTM (2), and API (3) to define and identify energy-conserving engine oils for passenger cars, vans, and light-duty (8500 lb GVW or less) trucks.

This SAE Information Report lists engine and laboratory tests for service fill engine oils which are associated with specifications and classifications established outside of SAE J304 and SAE J183. These specifications and classifications include those developed prior to April 1, 2017, by international technical societies, as well as individual original equipment manufacturers. The information contained within this report applies to engine oils utilized in gasoline- and diesel-powered automotive vehicles.

This SAE Information Report lists engine and laboratory tests for service fill engine oils which are associated with specifications and classifications established outside of North America.

This SAE Standard was prepared by Technical Committee 6, Small Engine Lubricants, of SAE Fuels and Lubricants Division. The intent is to improve communications among engine manufacturers, engine users, and lubricant marketers in describing lubricant performance characteristics. The key objective is to ensure that a correct lubricant is used in each two-stroke-cycle engine.

This SAE Standard outlines the engine oil performance categories and classifications developed through the efforts of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers (Alliance), American Petroleum Institute (API), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), the Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA), International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC) and SAE. The verbal descriptions by API and ASTM, along with prescribed test methods and limits are shown for active categories in Table 1 and obsolete categories in Table A1. Appendix A is a historical documentation of the obsolete categories. For purposes of this document, active categories are defined as those (a) for which the required test equipment and test support materials, including reference engine oils and reference fuels, are readily available, (b) for which ASTM or the test developer monitors precision for all tests, and (c) which are currently available for licensing by API EOLCS.
