2. SAE J300 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_J300

   The SAE has a separate viscosity rating system for gear, axle, and manual transmission oils, SAE J306, which should not be confused with engine oil viscosity. The higher numbers of a gear oil (e.g., 75W-140) does not mean that it has higher viscosity than an engine oil 20W-50.

3. Motor oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil

   Motor oil, engine oil, or engine lubricant is any one of various substances used for the lubrication of internal combustion engines. They typically consist of base oils enhanced with various additives, particularly antiwear additives , detergents, dispersants , and, for multi-grade oils, viscosity index improvers .

4. Viscosity index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_index

   where U is the oil's kinematic viscosity at 40 °C (104 °F), Y is the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100 °C (212 °F), and L and H are the viscosities at 40 °C for two hypothetical oils of VI 0 and 100 respectively, having the same viscosity at 100 °C as the oil whose VI we are trying to determine.

5. Two-stroke oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_oil

   The oil is dyed blue to make it easier to recognize in the gasoline. It appears black in this bottle because it is not diluted. Two-stroke oil (also referred to as two-cycle oil, 2-cycle oil, 2T oil, or 2-stroke oil) is a type of motor oil intended for use in crankcase compression two-stroke engines, typical of small gasoline-powered engines.

6. Viscosity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity

   Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's rate-dependent resistance to a change in shape or to movement of its ... SAE 10 Motor oil: 0.085 to 0.14 Castor oil: 0.1 SAE 20 ...

7. Gear oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_oil

   For example, most modern gearboxes require a GL-4 oil, and separate differentials (where fitted) require a GL-5 oil. While they take the same form, the viscosity grades for gear oils are on a different scale than the viscosity grades for an engine oil. The viscometrics for gear oils are standardized in SAE J306.
