Helpful Information about Engine Oils

[mctmatt]

I found this information from Penriteoil which I thought was very good at explaining or at least helping someone like me understand more about group oils, their designations and a description of that designation. You have to open the pdf which opens up a document called Understanding Engine Oils. Hope this is helpful and interesting for some. Regarding Penriteoil...I am not familiar with this company nor have I seen any of their products in places I shop in Texas. Here is the link Understanding Engine Oils

Pennrite is Australian. You can get it in the U.S., but usually you have to order it online.

Very good summary document. I always have trouble remembering what each specification means and this has a nice reference list.

Nice- easy to send a link to this instead of answering a ton of questions

Last night I was looking at several jugs of oil at my local Wal-Mart and noticed some indicated certain designations with some being different than others . I found this on a google search which help a non chemistry guy like me to better understand some of what is discussed on this board.
