Engine oil which falls simultaneously into a low temperature SAE viscosity grade classification(number followed by the letter W) and a high temperature SAE viscosity number grade, provided that the two grade numbers are not identical or consecutive, with a difference of at least 15.

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has established four series of grade numbers, based on viscosity. Two of these series, one defined at low temperature and running from SAE 0 W (minimum viscosity) to SAE 25 W (maximum viscosity) and the other defined at high temperature and running from SAE 20 to SAE 50, are applied to engine oils. The other two series are applied to gear oils and do not form continuous series with the engine oil series. They run from SAE 70 W to SAE 85 W at low temperature and from SAE 90 to SAE 250 at 100 °C in an analogous manner. 1, record 1, English, - multigrade%20engine%20oil

La Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) a établi quatre séries de numéros de classes basées sur la viscosité. Deux de ces séries de numéros s'appliquent aux huiles moteurs et se définissent comme suit : l'une basse température et allant de SAE 0 W (viscosité minimale) à SAE 25 W (viscosité maximale), l'autre à haute température et allant de SAE 20 à SAE 50. Les deux autres séries de numéros s'appliquent aux huiles pour engrenages et ne constituent pas de séries homogènes avec celles qui s'appliquent aux huiles moteur. Elles vont de SAE 70 W à SAE 85 W à basse température et de SAE 90 à SAE 250 à 100 °C de la même manière. 1, record 1, French, - huile%20moteur%20multigrade

The complete designation of an ISO metric thread includes the basic designation [the letter M followed by the nominal size in millimeters and the pitch] followed by the specification for tolerance class. The tolerance class designation includes the symbol for the pitch-diameter tolerance followed by the symbol for the crest-diameter tolerance. Each of these symbols consists of a number indicating the tolerance grade followed by a letter indicating the tolerance position. A dash separates the tolerance-class designation from the basic designation. When the pitch-diameter and crest-diameter tolerance symbols are identical, the symbol is given only once....
