Requirements for API SN are the same as those for API SN-RC, except as noted in the table to the right. Footnotes
(1) Not required for SAE 0W-20. (2) Not required for SN Non-ILSAC GF-5 viscosity grades. (3) 45 max for SN Non-ILSAC GF-5 viscosity grades. (4) No maximum for SN Non-ILSAC GF-5 viscosity grades. (5) If API CI-4 and/or CJ-4 categories precede the S category and there is no API Certication Mark, the Sequence VG (ASTM D6593), Ball Rust (ASTM D6557), and Gelation Index (ASTM D5133) tests are not required. (6) Viscosity grades are limited to SAE 0W, 5W and 10W multigrade oils. (7) Not required for monograde and SAE 15W, 20W, and 25W multigrade oils. (8) Calculated conversions specied in ASTM D5800 are allowed. (9) For all viscosity grades: If API CH-4, CI-4 and/or CJ-4 categories precede the S category and there is no API Certication Mark, the S category limits for phosphorus, sulfur, and the TEOST MHT do not apply. However, the CJ-4 limits for phosphorus and sulfur do apply for CJ-4 oils. (10) This is a non-critical specication as described in ASTM D3244. (11) After 1-minute settling period for all ILSAC viscosity grades and all SN-RC oils. (12) After 10-minute settling period for non-ILSAC GF-5 viscosity grades which are not SN-RC. (13) Shall remain homogeneous and, when mixed with ASTM reference oils, shall remain miscible. (14) To be evaluated from 5C to temperature at which 40,000 cP is attained or 40C, or 2 Celsius degrees below the appropriate MRV TP-1 temperature (dened by SAE J300), whichever occurs rst. (15) Not Required for SN ILSAC GF-5 viscosity grades which do not also contain the API Certication Mark or are not SN-RC.
