(4) Notes 1 cP = 1 mPa-s; 1mm 2/s=1cSt ASTM D4684: Note that the presence of any yield stress detectable All values, with the exception of the low-temperature cranking viscosity, by this method constitutes a failure regardless of viscosity. (5) ASTM D445 are critical specications as dened by ASTM D3244 (see text, Section 3) (3) (6) ASTM D5293: Cranking viscosity The non-critical specication protocol in ASTM D4683, CEC L-36-A-90 (ASTM D4741), or ASTM D5481 ASTM D3244 shall be applied with a P value of 0.95. *This document SAE J300 revision of November 2007 supersedes SAE J300 of May 2004.
