Automotive Gear Lubricant Viscosity Classification
SAE Viscosity Grade	Max. Temperature for Viscosity of 150, 000 cP (°C) Using ASTM D 2983 Additional low-temperature viscosity requirements may be appropriate for fluids intended for use in light-duty synchronized manual transmission	Kinematic viscosity at 100°C (cSt) Using ASTM D 445
SAE Viscosity Grade		min. Limit must also be met after testing in CEC L-45-T-93, Method C (20 hours)	max.
70W	-55 The precision of ASTM D 2983 has not been established for determinations made at temperatures below -40°C. This fact should be taken into consideration in any producer-consumer relationship.	4.1	-
