Which of these specifications denotes a multigrade oil?

Correct answer

SAE 20W-40.

SAE 20W-40 is multigrade: 20W identifies its low-temperature viscosity performance and 40 its high-temperature grade. W means winter. The numbers are classification grades, not temperatures or a single viscosity for each season. Oil normally becomes less viscous as it heats up; a multigrade meets the required performance in both ranges rather than thickening when summer arrives. Use the grade and approvals specified by the manufacturer.
