It should technically have SAE in front of that 5w30. Nit picky. Sure. But the Petroleum Quality Institute of America has gotten on others for not having SAE in front of the grade of oil.
I like the new label look a lot though otherwise.
Good point. I wonder if they're allowed because it says it on the back label. TomNJ could answer that, I'm sure.
You are correct it is not properly labeled. SAE J300 states as follows:
6. LABELING
In properly describing the viscosity grade of an engine oil according to this document, the letters "SAE" must precede the grade number designation. In addition, for multigrade oil formulations this document requires that the W grade precede the non-W grade, and that the two grades be separated by a hyphen (i.e., SAE 10W-30). Other forms of punctuation or separation are not acceptable.
