Viscosity Equivalent Chart

With multiple viscosity grade systems existing, it may be confusing if an engine manual instructs the use of ISO
(International Standard Organization) grade 32 and the product in front of you has SAE (Society of Automotive
Engineers) grade 10W on the container. In terms of viscosity, both are equivalent. However, you may not
know this. If you have a viscosity equivalent chart, it is easy to double check.

Utilize the chart below only to understand the relationship between the two measurement grades. Other factors
come into play for which oil is best for your equipment, so be sure to contact your local FS energy specialist for
technical support.
