What does SAE 30 mean?

SAE 30 is a monograde oil that is commonly used in older engines or those operating in moderate conditions:

SAE 30: The oil has a single viscosity rating and is designed for engines operating in warmer temperatures. It is thicker than multi-grade oils, providing excellent protection in hot weather.

What is SAE 30 oil used for?

SAE 30 is typically used in older vehicles, lawnmowers, and small engines where the conditions are relatively stable, and the engine does not require the versatility of multi-grade oils. It is not ideal for cold starts as it can become too thick in low temperatures, making it more suitable for warm climates.

How is SAE 30 different from other viscosities?

SAE 30 vs SAE 40

Cold start: SAE 30 offers slightly better cold flow, but both are intended for use in warm climates.
Operating temperature: SAE 40 provides better high-temperature protection.
Fuel efficiency: SAE 30 is more fuel-efficient in moderate temperatures.
Protection under load: SAE 40 handles heavy loads better.
Application: SAE 30 is commonly used in lawn equipment and older engines in moderate climates, whereas SAE 40 is better suited for high-temperature, heavy-duty applications.

SAE 30 vs SAE 20

Cold start: SAE 20 flows better in cooler temperatures.
Operating temperature: SAE 30 is more stable in warm conditions.
Fuel efficiency: SAE 20 may improve light-load efficiency.
Protection under load: SAE 30 offers better protection under heavy loads and high-temperature conditions compared to SAE 20.
Application: SAE 20 is ideal for light-duty applications and cooler climates, while SAE 30 is preferred for older engines and equipment operating in warm weather.
