SAE is the Society of Automotive Engineers. They’re the group who sets the viscosity standard, not an actual standard. The API service level is in the top half of the “donut” seal. SE and SF are old standards that have been replaced.

Q. How do you check the oil on a Yamaha Virago?
Turn off the engine and place the bike on the center kick stand. Locate the site glass. It is under the starter and above the shift lever. If the reading shows at halfway or above, then you have enough oil.
Q. What does SJ mean in oil?
Gasoline Engines
| “S” | Status |
|---|---|
| SM | Introduced on 30 November 2004 |
| SL | 2001 Gasoline Engine Service |
| SJ | 1997 Gasoline Engine Service |
| SH | Obsolete |
Q. What is the difference between SJ and SL oil?
As explained earlier, the higher the letter, the more recent and a higher specification would supersede the lower ones. API SN to SJ are for the most recent cars, API SH to SA for the older cars. In this case, you need API SL, so an API SJ, lower, cannot be good. SM and SN supersedes SL so both oils can be used.
Q. What is a CJ 4 oil?
API Service Category CJ-4 describes oils for use in high-speed four-stroke cycle diesel engines designed to meet 2007 model year on-highway exhaust emission standards as well as for previous model years. CJ-4 oil with higher than 15 ppm sulfur fuel, consult the engine manufacturer for service interval.
Q. Is API SN better than SL?
API or american petroleum institute certifies the oil grades which are updated after every vehicle gets a upgrade according to emission standards so a API SL is a older grade used primarily in BS3 compatible vehicles compared to API SN which is being used for latest BS6 compatible engines so if u use a older grade like …
Q. Can you mix SP and SN oil?
API SP will be fully backward-compatible with previous API service categories, including API SN PLUS, SN, SM, SL or SJ.
Q. What is the highest API service rating for oil?
SM
Q. What is the difference between SAE and API?
SAE is the Society Of Automotive Engineers (USA). The SAE rating of an oil is a measure of its viscosity (eg 20W50). API is the American Petroleum Institute. The API rating of an engine oil covers the performance rating of the oil (e.g. SM for petrol, CF for diesel).
Q. What does API SM stand for?
The codes are as follows: • SN: For vehicles manufactured after 2010. • SM: Vehicles manufactured between 2002-2009. • SJ: Vehicles manufactured before 2001.
Q. What Jaso stand for?
Japanese Automotive Standards Organization
Q. What is the difference between JASO FB and JASO FC?
JASO FB – improved requirements over FA with regard to lubricity, detergency, exhaust smoke and exhaust system blocking. JASO FC – lubricity and initial torque requirements same as FB, however far higher requirements over FB with regard to detergency, exhaust smoke and exhaust system blocking.
Q. Is Mobil 1 JASO certified?
The reason that Mobil 1 oil sold for auto use doesn’t have the JASO rating on the bottle is that they just happen to also sell 10W-40 and 20W-50 (for BIG twins) Mobil 1 “full synthetic” oil specifically labeled for motorcycle use that does have the JASO rating on the bottle – and also just happens to sell for about 50% …
