发动机机油的型号与指标（Type and index of engine oil） The grade index of oil is usually used by the American Petroleum Institute (API) standard. API is usually expressed by two English letters, the head of a suitable engine oil English letter category, S on behalf of gasoline engine oil, diesel engine oil C; second English letters on behalf of the oil level, in alphabetical order has second letters arranged more represented higher quality, can provide better protection for the the engine such as APISL, APISJ, SH, SG than the engine oil level higher. In general, high-performance cars use APISL or SJ grade oils; in general domestic models use APISG or SF grade oils. Can also be in accordance with the engine manufacturing period to choose oil, SF is suitable for mid 70s or late 80s SG gasoline engine; for the latter part of the 80s SH gasoline engine; for after 1993 1998 before the production of the engine; SJ is applicable to 1998 after the production of engine. Viscosity temperature index, we only know the classification of lubricating oil is far from enough, we must also select the oil through the viscosity and temperature index. Viscosity index: internationally recognized classification is the SAE classification, and SAE is the acronym for the American Society of automotive engineers. SAE classification, divided into low viscosity grade SAE0W (W, 5W, 10W on behalf of the winter), 15W, 20W, 25W, the smaller the number, on behalf of low temperature operation better, such as the representative of 0W at 30 degrees below zero still maintain good lubrication; 25 degrees of 5W; 15W represents 15 degrees below zero; 20W represents 10 25W is 5 degrees below zero degrees below zero. In addition to the low temperature viscosity grade, there are high temperature viscosity grades SAE20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and the greater the number, the higher the viscosity of the oil. Usually when the weather is hot, use a high viscosity engine oil, but in cold weather application of better viscosity of low
