(1) Lubricating Oils are those products of petroleum that are commonly used in lubricating or oiling engines, and any devices or substitutes for such products of petroleum.

(2) Viscosity means a measure of the time for a fixed volume of lubricating oil to flow by gravity through the capillary viscometer under an accurately reproducible head and at a closely controlled temperature. The kinematic viscosity is then calculated from the measured flow time and the calibration constant of the viscometer.

(3) Multiviscosity refers to and means numbered lubricating oils whose 0° F viscosity falls within the prescribed range of one of the SAE W weight classifications and whose 210° F viscosity falls within the prescribed range of one of the higher non-W weight SAE classifications.

(4) SAE refers to and means Society of Automotive Engineers.
