LUBRICATING OILS, SAE 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

SAE 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 lubricating oils are classifications of engine oils based on their viscosity grades as defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). These oils are used in various automotive and industrial applications to reduce friction and wear on moving parts. Each grade is suitable for specific temperature ranges and operating conditions, providing essential lubrication, cooling, and protection for machinery and engines. Despite their benefits, lubricating oils can pose environmental and health risks if not handled and disposed of properly. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and adherence to environmental regulations, are essential to ensure safe usage and minimize risks.
