A brief discussion about motor oils in general.

Viscosity
Viscosity is a variable property dependent on temperature. During the operation of an automotive engine, there is a...

including changes in operating temperatures. For effective lubrication, it is essential that the viscosity of the oil changes as little as possible with temperature. This dependency is defined by the so-called viscosity index. The higher this index, the lower the dependence of viscosity on temperature changes. The characteristics of the viscosity properties of motor oils are specified according to SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers, USA). For oil classification, this standard uses 6 winter classes indicated by a number and "W" (from English Winter) and 5 summer classes indicated 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 winter designation value indicates the behavior of the oil at low temperatures (e.g., SAE 15W has a pumping limit of -25 °C).

The summer designation value indicates the use of oil at summer temperatures. If only one class is used in the designation, it means that it is a monograde oil (either 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 immediate and long-term properties of motor oil under various forms of operational load. Different properties are evaluated, such as oxidation stability, volatility, wear protection, deposit formation, corrosion, fuel economy, etc.

The following standards are used to designate the performance category of motor oils:
API classification (American Petroleum Institute, USA)
ACEA classification (Association of European Automobile Manufacturers, EU)
Corporate standards of 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 from API, ACEA, and corporate standards of engine and vehicle manufacturers. The CCMC classification is already outdated and is mentioned only temporarily.

API Classification
According to this standard, motor oils are distinguished by use into oils for spark-ignition (petrol) engines, indicated by the letter “S” (from English Service), and oils for compression-ignition (diesel) engines, indicated by the letter “C” (from English Commercial). Most oils are suitable 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 low loads, produced between 1940 – 1950.
SB - Oils with deposit formation inhibitors for engines produced between 1951 – 1963.
SC - Oils with deposit formation and low-temperature sludge inhibitors for engines produced between 1964 – 1967.
SD - Additized oils with detergent and dispersive additives for engines produced between 1968 – 1971.
SE - Oils for 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, meeting the strictest requirements for minimizing wear and deposit formation.
SH - Oils with the same properties as SG, but tested against more demanding standards. Designed for engines produced in 1996 and older.
SJ - Oil for engines produced in 2001 and older.
SL - Oils exceeding API SJ with enhanced fuel economy and extended service intervals.
SM - Top-quality oils exceeding API SL with increased oxidation stability, better wear protection, and deposit formation prevention.valid since 2004.

Oils for gasoline and light diesel engines
A1/B1 - Oils additive-treated to prevent deposit formation on pistons, sludge, wear and oxidation at high temperatures. They meet the requirements for super light running and fuel economy. They are suitable only for certain engines.

They are recommended for high-performance engines meeting Euro 1, Euro 2, Euro 3 and Euro 4 emission limits, operating under severe conditions, e.g., extended oil change intervals, according to the engine manufacturer's recommendations. They are suitable for engines without particulate filters and for certain engines equipped with exhaust gas recirculation or SCR (selective catalytic reduction of NOx) systems, according to the engine manufacturer's recommendations.
E6 - Oils providing excellent protection of cylinder cleanliness – 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 severe conditions, e.g., extended oil change intervals, according to the engine manufacturer's recommendations. They are suitable for engines equipped with exhaust gas recirculation with or without particulate filters and for engines with SCR systems. E6 – quality particularly recommended for engines with particulate filters and is qualified in combination with low-sulfur fuel (max. 50 ppm). However, always follow the engine manufacturer's recommendations.

They are recommended for high-performance engines meeting Euro 1, Euro 2, Euro 3 and Euro 4 emission limits, operating under severe conditions, e.g., extended oil change intervals, according to the engine 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 engine manufacturers’ recommendations.
Note: Categories A2 and B2 are not included in the current issue.included. However, they remain valid in their latest version as long as they are recommended in service books by car manufacturers.
Categories E3 and E5 have been replaced by categories E6 and E7.

Explanations:

DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) - particulate filter
TWC (Three Way Catalyst) - three-way catalyst
EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) - exhaust gas recirculation
SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) - selective catalytic reduction of NOx: treatment of exhaust gas composition with urea (AdBlue agent = 32.5% aqueous solution of urea)

Automaker and Engine Standards
Many automakers and engine manufacturers require engine oils to meet additional specifications that are not included in the methodologies of previous classifications.


How to properly choose engine oil?
1. The first principle when choosing engine oil is to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for motorcycles contained in the manual for each vehicle. Only the engine (vehicle) manufacturer can responsibly state which oil may be used. Practically no manufacturer recommends a specific brand of oil (as it contradicts competition law in the European Union). Manufacturers (of cars) recommend oils according to 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. Replacement intervals are then determined for oils recommended this way.
2. For oils of the same performance specification, the same replacement interval is recommended.
3. If you do not have the vehicle manual, ask the manufacturer. Remember, the vehicle manufacturer does not recommend a brand of oil, only performance and viscosity specifications.
4. If the oil meets the performance and viscosity specification (or a higher specification), it can be used. A higher performance level is fine, but it is usually more expensive and does not bring much benefit.
5. If you are changing low-performance specification oils (M5AD, M6AD) for a new high-performance oil, shorten the replacement interval for the first change (it will flush out 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).
