What is the SN grade of engine oil?
1 Answers
SN is the second-grade engine oil, while SP is currently the highest-grade engine oil. Engine oil grades are represented by a combination of two letters. The "S" series represents oil for gasoline engines, with general specifications ranging from SA to SP. Each subsequent letter indicates better performance than the previous one, and the further back the letter is in the alphabet, the higher the quality grade. In international brands, engine oil grades are mostly above SF. The following are characteristics of engine oil: 1. Lubricity: The ability of engine oil to reduce friction, slow down wear, and prevent metal sintering under various conditions is called the lubricity of the engine. 2. Low-temperature operability: The performance of engine oil to ensure easy starting and reliable oil supply under low-temperature conditions is called the low-temperature operability of engine oil. 3. Viscosity-temperature characteristics: The property of lubricating oil to change viscosity due to temperature changes is called viscosity-temperature characteristics.
