'SAE' is an acronym for: "Society of Automotive Engineers" An international non-profit educational and scientific organization dedicated to advancing mobility technology.
They develop technical information on all forms of self-propelled vehicles including aircraft and disseminate this information through many channels, including oil specifications.
The number "90" is the viscosity (or thickness). 90 being a very viscous or thick "weight" oil. (90 weight would obviously be for special applications.)
"Straight" (or single), means that the viscosity is rated at a single non-winter temperature viscosity. Usually, the weight will include a "W" for "Winter" (as in 10W-30), rating that viscosity at 0 (zero) º degrees F.
And of course "mineral" is just that.... mineral oil ... Petroleum distillate.
