Why does Blackstone viscosity differ from viscosity as defined by SAE J300?
On my UOAs, and UOAs posted here, I have seen:
Blackstone assigns to PP 5W-30 a 100 degC viscosity range of 9.1 - 11.3 cSt.
Blackstone assigns to M1 5W-30 a 100 degC viscosity range of 8.8 - 11.1 cSt.
Blackstone assigns to PP 10W-30 a 100 degC viscosity range, of 9.9 - 11.9 cSt.
Blackstone assigns to M1 0W-30 a 100 degC viscosity range of 8.8 - 12.2 cSt.
On the other hand, SAE J300 defines a SAE30 oil as having a 100 degC kinematic viscosity (ASTM D445) range of 9.3 - 12.49 cSt
Why the discrepancy between Blackstone and SAE?
And why does Blackstone assign different viscosities to M1 5W30 and PP 5W30?
