Specified and recommended quality and viscosity grades according to SAE at continuous ambient temperatures
Recommended engine oils meet a test sequence according to CCMC. Only countries, in which oils according to CCMC are not available, can use oils according to the API classification (American Petroleum Institute).
Following the SAE grades exactly according to ambient air temperatures would result in frequent engine oil changes. The temperature ranges for the SAE grades should therefore be regarded as a guideline which may be exceeded for brief periods.
Engine oils of the same quality grade can be mixed with each other (for example CCMC G5/PD2 or API SG/CE as possible combinations).
