In 1993 the new JASO FA, FB and FC specifications (in order of increasing severity) came into force for 2-stroke engine oils, followed later by JASO FD. JASO is the acronym of the Japanese Automotive Standardizing Organization. The specifications are based on tests carried out on the Honda DIO AF27 engine (lubricity, torque, detergence) and the Suzuki SX800R (exhaust smoke, exhaust ports clogging). The JASO system includes a logo that can be printed on packaging by lubricant producers. To do this, the producer must apply to JASO to be registered, with an official declaration attesting that the product conforms to the required performance levels. Following the success of the 2-stroke specifications, JASO then implemented a similar system for 4-stroke oils. This system has two specifications, MA and MB. Both require the same engine performance (API and/or ACEA levels). The difference between the two specifications is in their antifriction, which can affect the correct operation of wet clutches.
ISO
The JASO specifications were later integrated with the “global” specifications issued by the ISO: in increasing order of severity, these are GB, GC and GD. The ISO (International Standardizing Organization) intended these specifications to form a set of global standards, i.e. specifications that would meet the technical requirements of all builders of 2-stroke engines worldwide. The most common of the ISO specifications is ISO-L-EGD. This specification covers the same requirements as JASO FC (lubricity, torque, detergence, exhaust smoke, and exhaust ports clogging). While an exact comparison between the JASO FC and ISO-L-EGD levels of severity is not strictly speaking possible, due to differences in the testing methods, ISO-L-EGD can be considered as representing a higher level of severity. Unlike JASO, the ISO system does not have official logos and/or a formal system of official registration or approval.
SAE viscosity classification
Degreasing agent, ideal for metal parts, hydraulic systems, mechanical parts, electric parts, and carburettors. Acts instantly without leaving residues.
The SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) has issued two classification systems for lubricants based on viscosity, one for engine oils and one for transmission oils. Both systems classify lubricants based on viscosity at low temperature (the classification prefixed with the letter W for Winter) and at high temperature (100 °C). “Multigrade” lubricants are lubricants that can be classified according to intervals at both low and high temperatures, and they provide constant viscometric performance (cold starts and protection at high temperature) in a very wide ambient temperature interval. The SAE viscosity classification is not applicable to “self-mixing” 2-stroke oils containing diluting agent.

API is the acronym for the American Petroleum Institute. For motorcycles, the API service classifications of interest are: 1. Engine oil (4-stroke). The API Engine Service Classification is divided into S-series (S as in Service station) for use in petrol engines, and C-series (commercial) for use in commercial and industrial vehicles (with diesel motors). 2. Transmission oils. The series of performance levels is marked GL (for Gear Lubricant) followed by a progressively higher figure indicating the higher level of severity. Essentially, API GL-3 oils are anti-wear, while GL-4 oils and, more generally, GL-5 oils have superior extreme pressure (EP) properties. 3. 2-stroke oils. This series of API classifications is marked with a progressive letter, from A to C, according to the increasing level of severity. For many years these API classifications were the reference standard. From the 1990s onward, however, due in part to the fact that the API standards were not revised, they were progressively replaced in terms of importance by JASO and, eventually, by the new ISO standards.
ACEA
European engines, traffic conditions and speed limits are different from those in America. Consequently, although the API sequences were available, the associations of European carbuilders (formerly the CCMC, Comité des Constructeurs du Marché Commun, which evolved into the ACEA, Association des Constructeurs Europeens d’Automobiles) developed a series of “sequences” based on tests conducted mainly on European engines. These performance specifications are intended to define the minimum performance requirements. Some builders take the ACEA sequences and add further, original specifications of their own. The ACEA sequences are divided into three classes according to use: • gasoline engines (A) • diesel engines for cars and light duty commercial vehicles (B) • diesel engines for heavy duty commercial vehicles (E)
DOT
This acronym (Department of Transportation) is commonly associated with a set of specifications that are applied to brake fluids. The specified levels are DOT3, DOT4 and DOT5. The requirements of DOT4 in particular are more severe than DOT3, with regard to boiling point (dry and wet), but the same cannot be said of DOT5 with regard to DOT4.
NLGI
NLGI is the National Lubricating Grease Institute. The most common NLGI classification is the one that defines the “consistency” of a grease. The NLGI mark is followed by an increasing figure indicating the “hardness” of the grease. A “better” consistency does not exist as such. This depends on the mechanical parts involved. Also, the consistency grade is not an indication of any other properties that may be required from or possessed by a grease (adhesion, dripping temperature etc).
