SAE stands for Society of Automotive Engineers. It appears that you're referring to an oil weight rating - in this case, 30 weight, although it'll usually be followed by the viscosity rating (e.g., 15W-40, 10W-30, 85W-140, etc. 30W tends to be recommended for small engines, such as lawnmowers.
Only SAE 30 is equivalent to SAE-30
I just spoke with a technical support rep from Harbor Freight. He said that if is calls for SAE 30W that SAE 30 should be fine.
No ( according to the owners manual that came with my Ariens lawnmower ( with a Kohler engine ) SAE 30 if above 40* Fahrenheit SAE 10W-30 if below 40* Fahrenheit
GM SAE 5w-30 or ACdelco SAE 5w-30
Im not 100% sure but its a call, Yes 2t oil is SAE 30 since its thicker than ATF(SAE 20).
Yes you can.
SAE 30 or SAE 10W30.
supervised agriculture experience
SAE 30 motor oil if the temperature is between 30 & 75°F.Colder use SAE 10 oil.Warmer use SAE 40 oil.
sae 30 (above 32 degees) and sae 5w-30 (below 32 degrees)
SAE 30 as standard. SAE 10 for cold weather.
The 'W' stands for WINTER. It does not stand for weight. What would the oil be weighing? 12oz of 10w-30 weighs the same as 12oz of 5w-20. It is related to the cold temperature viscosity of the product. A multi-viscosity oil, 5W-20 for example, will perform like an SAE 5 product when cold and a SAE 20 product when hot. And as a bit of additional info, oils are not 'weighted' they are graded. SAE grades the oil.. SAE 5, 20, 30..
