Viscosities based on 95 VI single-grade oils.

ISO grades are specified at 40 C.
AGMA grades are specified at 100F.
SAE 75W, 80W, 85W, and 5 and 10W
specified at low temperature (below -17F = 0C).
Equivalent viscosities for 100F and 210F are shown.
SAE 90 to 250 and 20 to 50 specified at 210F (100C).
