Oil Viscosity Chart: Compare, Choose, and Substitute Industrial Oils

Viscosity is how thick the oil is. Too thin and the teeth weld. Too thick and you just heat the sump.

Check your film thickness

Four brands, the numbers off their data sheets, and a buy link when we have one. That's the page.

What Oil Viscosity Should I Use? Know the purpose of your Oil ▼

What's the Difference between ISO and SAE? ▼

The manual names one oil. When that pail is gone, you need another brand in the same grade. That's the whole trick. The checklist is what else to look at before you fill it.

Parametric Oil Database

If an oil isn't made, or isn't available anymore, knowing its properties can help you find a suitable alternative. These alternatives can also help drive cost savings, or longer maintenance intervals when switching between conventional and synthetic. While we always encourage following the OEM's recommendations, it's good to know what else is out there.
