A brief discussion on engine oils in general.

Viscosity
Viscosity is a variable property that depends on temperature. Various operational temperatures change during the operation of a car engine. For effective lubrication, it is desirable for the viscosity of the oil to change as little as possible with temperature. This dependence is characterized by the so-called viscosity index. The higher this index, the lower the viscosity's dependence on temperature changes. The specifications used to characterize the viscosity properties of engine oils are based on SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers, USA). This standard employs 6 winter classes marked by a number and “W” (for Winter) and 5 summer classes marked by a number.

Winter classes: 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W (-35°C, -30°C, -25°C, -20°C, -15°C, -10°C)
Summer classes: 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 (20°C, 30°C, 40°C, 50°C, 60°C)
The value of the winter rating indicates the behavior of the oil at low temperatures (e.g., SAE 15W oil has a pour point of -25 °C).

The value of the summer rating indicates the usage of the oil at summer temperatures. If only one class is used in the designation, it means that the oil is...j multigrade (summer or winter). When a combination of summer and winter class is used (e.g. 5W-40), it is a multigrade oil or all-season oil. Currently, multigrade motor oils are almost exclusively used.

Performance categories
They characterize both the immediate and long-term properties of motor oil under various forms of operational load. Different properties are assessed, such as oxidative stability, volatility, wear protection, and deposit formation, corrosion protection, fuel economy, etc.

The following standards are used to designate the performance category of motor oils:
API classification (American Petroleum Institute, USA)
ACEA classification (European Automobile Manufacturers Association, EU)
manufacturer-specific standards for engine and vehicle manufacturers (VW, MB, MAN, VOLVO, TATRA)
MIL-L classification (U.S. Army standards)
other classifications (e.g., ILSAC)
Currently, the most significant specifications are those of API, ACEA, and manufacturer-specific standards for engines and vehicles. The CCMC classification is already outdated and is mentioned only temporarily.

API Classification
According to this standard, motor oils are distinguished by their use into oils for gasoline (spark ignition) engines, designated by the letter "S" (from English Service), and for diesel (compression ignition) engines, designated by the letter "C" (from English Commercial). Most oils are usable for both types of engines and are then marked with a combination of both letters, e.g., SL/CF.

Performance classes for spark ignition engines
SA - Oils without additives for engines operating under mild conditions with light load, produced between 1940 – 1950.
SB - Oils with additives for deposit formation for engines produced between 1951 – 1963.
SC - Oils with additives for deposit formation and low-temperature sludge for engines produced between 1964 – 1967.
SD - Additive oils with detergent and dispersant additives for engines produced between 1968 – 1971.
SE - Oils for very heavily loaded engines produced between 1971 – 1979.
SF - Oils for highly stressed engines produced between 1980 – 1988.
SG - Oils for engines produced between 1988 – 1993, which meet the strictest requirements for minimizing wear and deposits.
SH - Oils with the same properties as SG but tested according to more rigorous standards. Designed for engines produced in 1996 and older.
SJ - Oil for engines produced in 2001 and older.
SL - Oils exceeding API SJ with increased fuel economy and extended oil change intervals.
SM - Oils of the highest quality exceeding API SL with increased oxidative stability, higher wear and deposit protection. Effective from 2004.

Oils for spark ignition and light diesel engines
A1/B1 - Oils additive for preventing piston deposits, sludge formation, wear, and oxidation at high temperatures. Meet the requirements for super light running and fuel economy. Suitable only for certain engines.
A3/B3 - Oils designed for heavily loaded spark ignition and diesel engines or for extended oil change intervals according to the engine manufacturer's recommendations.
A3/B4 - Oils for high-performance spark ignition engines and diesel engines with direct fuel injection, also suitable for use described in category B3.

Oils for diesel engines of trucks
E2 - Common use oils for naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines, lightly to moderately loaded and with normal change intervals.
E4 - Oils providing excellent cleanliness protection of cylinders – against wear and soot. They are recommended for high-performance engines meeting Euro 1, Euro 2, Euro 3, and Euro 4 emission limits, operating under difficult conditions, e.g., extended change intervals, according to the manufacturer's recommendations. They are suitable for engines without particulate filters and for some engines equipped with exhaust gas recirculation or SCR (selective catalytic reduction of NOx) systems, according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
E6 - Oils providing excellent cleanliness protection of cylinders – against wear and soot. They are recommended for high-performance engines meeting Euro 1, Euro 2, Euro 3, and Euro 4 emission limits, operating under difficult conditions, e.g., extended change intervals, according to the manufacturer's recommendations. They are suitable for engines equipped with exhaust gas recirculation without or with particulate filters and for engines with SCR systems. E6 – quality especially recommended for engines with particulate filters and is qualified in combination with fuel with low sulfur content (max. 50 ppm). However, always follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
E7 - Oils providing effective cleanliness protection and against cylinder polishing. They further provide improved protection against wear, deposits, and soot. They are recommended for high-performance engines meeting Euro 1, Euro 2, Euro 3, and Euro 4 emission limits, operating under difficult conditions, e.g., extended change intervals, according to the manufacturer's recommendations. They are suitable for engines without particulate filters and for most engines equipped with exhaust gas recirculation or SCR systems, according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Note: Categories A2 and B2 are not included in the current edition. However, they remain valid in the latest version as long as they are recommended in the service manuals by car manufacturers.
Categories E3 and E5 are replaced by categories E6 and E7.

Glossary:

DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) - particulate filter
TWC (Three Way Catalyst) - three-way catalyst
EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) - exhaust gas recirculation

Manufacturer and engine standards
Many manufacturers of cars and engines require motor oils to meet additional requirements not included in the methodologies of previous classifications.


How to properly choose motor oil?
1. The first rule in choosing motor oil is to follow the instructions of the motorcycle manufacturer, included in the manual for each vehicle. Only the engine manufacturer (vehicles) can responsibly say which oil can be used. Practically no manufacturer recommends a specific oil brand (it contradicts competition laws in the European Union). Manufacturers (of vehicles) recommend oils based on the so-called performance specifications, e.g., API SH/CD, ACEA A3, VW 505.00, MB 229.1, and viscosity specifications SAE, e.g., 15W-40, 10W-40. For oils recommended in this way, the replacement intervals are then determined.
2. For oils of the same performance specification, the same replacement interval is recommended.
3. If you do not have a vehicle manual, ask the manufacturer. Remember, the vehicle manufacturer does not recommend an oil brand but only the performance and viscosity specifications.
4. If the oil meets the performance and viscosity specifications (or a higher specification), it can be used. A higher performance level is acceptable, but it is usually more expensive and does not bring much benefit.
5. If you are changing oil with low performance specifications (M5AD, M6AD) for a new oil with high performance, shorten the replacement interval for the first change (there will be a flushing of deposits).
6. Do not mix mineral oils (SAE 15W-40, 15W-50, 20W-30, 40) with synthetic oils (SAE 0W and 5W-30, 40, 50).
