The results of the tests conducted on this sample meet the SAE J300 specifications for the SAE Viscosity Grade listed on the product label, and are consistent with the listed API Service Categories. The test results for this sample, however, show a higher than expeceted level of silicon, which can indicate the presence of abrasive material.
