The weights given on oils are arbitrary numbers assigned by the S.A.E. (Society of Automotive Engineers). These numbers correspond to "real" viscosity, as measured by several accepted techniques. These measurements are taken at specific temperatures. Oils that fall into a certain range are designated 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 by the S.A.E. The W means the oil meets specifications for viscosity at various low temperatures depending on weight, and is therefore suitable for Winter use. 5W is tested at -25C, 10W at -20C, 15W at -15C, and 20W at -10C.

What is the term SAE in SAE measurement?
SAE is an acronym for the "Society of Automotive Engineers" and when used in conjunction with tool grade or measurement (not oil), is a standardized unit of non-metric measurement. Simply put, in measurements it means "Non-Metric". The name "SAE" used to grade motor oil has a totally different meaning, although instituted by the same society.

Is a grade 5 bolt the same designation as a SAE -sized bolt?
SAE sets standard sizes and grades for bolts.Size and Grade are different:Size is set By the SAE (society of Automotive engineer's) and is stated as thickness followed by thread pitch followed by length 1/4 x 24 (threads per inch) x 1 1/14 (inches long) Grade Is a statement of strength and hardness. Most auto hardware tends to be grade 5 and some high strength stuff is grade 8 or grade 12
What is the difference between SAE 10 and SAE 10W?
SAE 10W could be using in larger of range temperature, so SAE with W character also means suitable for winter season as well as tropical season or ambient temperature. this SAE 10W also means multi grade oil. thanks
