Viscosity Grade Classification Systems:-
1. ISO – Industrial Oils
2. AGMA – Industrial Gear Oils
3. SAE – Engine Oils
4. SAE – Gear Oils

Major specifying organizations:-

• SAE – Society of Automotive Engineers (USA)

• API - American Petroleum Institute

• US Military Specs – US - MIL – 2104

• CCMC – European Specification

• ISO – International Standard Organization – ISO 3348

• NLGI – National Lubricating Grease Institute

SAE viscosity grades for engine oils Designated :-

• With corresponding viscosity

• For high temperature application

• Warmer areas/regions

I. SAE 10/20/30/40/50/60
II. SAE 0/5/10/15/20/25 W[1]
Automotive oils :-
1-Diseal engine oils:-
1) IPOL MTB HD Oils are manufactured from high VI, highly refined base oils combined with an
additive system containing detergents, ashless dispersants, anti-oxidant and anti-wear
inhibitors.

2) IPOL MGB HD (MULTIGRADE) Oils are formulated from high Viscosity Index, solvent extracted
base oils, combined with an additive system containing ashless dispersant, metallo-organic
detergent, oxidation and wear inhibitors.

3) IPOL PSO Plus (pump set oil) is Heavy Duty Pump-Set Oil manufactured from highly refined base
oils. It has special additive to provide anti-corrosion protection to engine internals during ideal
periods. This engine oil is designed for both compression-ignition and spark-ignition type
engines.

2- Gear oils:-
IPOL Syncro ST Oils are made from selected base oils to give resistance to oxidation thickening and good
lubricating properties.
3- Transmission oils :-
IPOL Transmission Fluids (SAE 10W and SAE 30) are hydraulic transmission fluids formulated to meet
General Motors Detroit Diesel ALLISON DIVISION type C-4 specifications. These oils are blended from
highly refined virgin base stocks with special additives to impart high oxidation stability, anti-wear, anti-
rust, anti-foam and the desired frictional characteristics in service. [2]

ISO – Industrial Oils:-

For the classification to be used directly in engineering design calculations in which the kinematic
viscosity of the lubricant is only one of the parameters, it was necessary that the viscosity grade width
(range of tolerance) be no more than 10 percent on either side of the nominal value. This would reflect
an order of (center point) uncertainty in calculations similar to that imposed by dimensional
manufacturing tolerances. [3]

AGMA – Industrial Gear Oils:-

Description:-
The AGMA/EP Industrial Gear Oils are high quality, extreme pressure oils designed for the lubrication of
heavy duty industrial gears. AGMA/EP Gear Oils provide optimum load carrying capability, water
separation, and oxidation resistance. At the high localized temperatures achieved under heavy load
conditions, the sulfur phosphorus EP additive in AGMA/EP Gear Oils chemically reacts with the metal
surfaces in order to prevent the welding, scoring and galling that may occur as the oil film is broken.
Applications:-
Industrial gear sets calling for a premium industrial gear oil, a gear oil with AGMA 250.04 or U.S. Steel
224 performance, as well as enclosed gear drives including spur, helical, double helical or “herringbone”
and straight bevel types. Worm gear sets that are comprised entirely of steel, or ferrous, components
typically accept an AGMA style of gear oil readily. Worm gear sets that contain copper, brass, bronze, or
other red and yellow metal alloys generally should not use an AGMA style of gear lubricant. This product
is suitable for splash, chain or ring oil delivery as well as for circulation, or pump delivery.[4]
