Scope
This SAE Standard defines the limits for a classification of engine lubricating oils in rheological terms only. Other oil characteristics are not considered or included.
Rationale
This revision includes an additional acceptable method for determination of low shear rate kinematic viscosity at 100 °C, ASTM D7042. The inclusion of an additional method can enable engine oil producers to improve logistics and quality assurance.
The equivalence of ASTM D445 and bias-corrected ASTM D7042 in determination of kinematic viscosity at 100 °C for a wide variety of engine oil formulations within the viscosity range covered by the current SAE J300 Standard has been demonstrated in the ASTM Research Report RR:D02-1741 and the ASTM Research Report RR:D02-1931.

Issuing Committee
Fuels and Lubricants TC 1 Engine Lubrication
The Fuels and Lubricants Council is responsible for: setting policy; providing final approval of documents; arbitrating controversial issues; reporting to the Technical Board (via the Technology/Development Group); approving the Technical Committee membership; and appointing Technical Committee, Coordinating Committee, and other Chairpersons as required. Participants in the SAE Fuels and Lubricants Council include OEMs, suppliers, consulting firms, government and other interested parties.

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
