Properties of Fluids
The term fluid represents a type of substance that can easily change its shape under any external pressure/force and can flow. Fluids can acquire any shape in which it is stored and can resist normal stresses but cannot resist shear stress in rest condit…

What property of oil does the SAE ratings reflect?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Mention the property of oil defined by the SAE ratings.

Explanation of Solution

Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) rating:

SAE rating rates motor oils based on their viscosity. Most engine oils are sold with the SAE grade number. The viscosity of the oil determines the effectiveness and burning rate of the oil. Higher the SAE rating of the oil, higher will be the viscosity of the oil.

The vehicle manufacturers suggest the following viscosity engine oils:

  • SAE 0W-16
  • SAE 0W-20
  • SAE 5W-20
  • SAE 5W-30

Therefore, viscosity is the property of oil defined by the SAE ratings.
