The API classification "SM" is typically higher than "SG." SM oils have improved performance and additives compared to SG oils, making them better suited for newer vehicles with more advanced engine designs. It's important to consult your vehicle's owner's manual for the recommended oil classification.

What is Correlation between o API and specific gravity?
°API = [ 141.5 / (SG @ 60°F) ] - 131.5 SG= specific gravity (always taken at 60°F when calculating API)
If your 4 wheeler calls for oil api-sf-sg is api cj-4 sm better?
Yes. sm is better and newer than sf or sg.
What kind of oil do i use in a 1994 Honda nighthawk 250?
I own a 94 Nighthawk 250 and my owners manuel says to us 10w-40. It also says to "Use only high detergant, premium quality oil cerified to meet API Service Classification SF or SG."
What is the recommended oil grade for a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart with a 2.4L Mivec?
depends on your climate, but a good synthetic 5w-30 will be sweet. As long as its API SG or higher
What kind of oil is used in a suzuki sv1000?
SAE 10W-40, API SF or SG
Your lawn tractor requires oil type api-sf-sj can you use api sg instead?
Motor oil is rated many ways. One is the API rating for gasoline motors. SJ is better than SH, SH is better than SG, SG is better than SF. etc. So as long as the letter comes later in the alphabet it is ok. However the most modern oils ( e.g. SM) are not suitable for old engines.
What is the value of 1KG heavy crude oil in liters?
The value of 1 kg of heavy crude will be between 1.0 to 1.0714 liters. Definitions of heavy oil vary. Generally, a range of 10 degrees to 20 degrees API is one qualifier, and the viscosity of the oil is a second qualifier. Specific gravity (SG) = 141.5/(131.5 + API) where API = degrees API density. So, 20 degrees equals SG of 0.9333. This is equal to 0.9333 kg/ liter, so 1 liter = 1/0.933 = 1.0714 kg. For 10 degrees API, SG = 1. See related links for discussion of heavy oil and tars.
What is the average density of Irak Crude oil?
Iraq's fields produce from numerous formations, with varying crude densities. Many of these fields have large ranges, such as the Mauddud formation with a range of densities 12 to 38 degrees API. The two largest fields Kirkuk and Rumaila have average gravities of 32 to 33 degrees API. To convert from degrees API to specific gravity (SG), SG = 141.5/(131.5+API) See related links.
What is the oil capacity for a 2005 Honda Recon 250?
The oil capacity for a 2005 Honda Recon 250 is 1.6 quarts or 51.2 ounces. The recommended oil is an SG or higher API rating in a 10-40 weight.
