Grade checks
- 13 is the maker's grade, not an ISO VG.
- Computed viscosity index is 81 from the stored KV40 and KV100 (ASTM D2270). The listed index is 90, more than 2 points away.
Viscosity and temperature
ASTM D341 (Walther) fitted to the published KV40 and KV100. It is an interpolation between those two points, and it is not meaningful below the pour point. Move the control to read a temperature.

Questions
Is Chevron Canopus 13 an ISO VG 13 oil?
The row is filed under 13, which is the maker's grade and not an ISO VG. ISO 3448 does not define VG 13.
What is a Chevron Canopus 13 equivalent?
No other brand in this catalogue clears the equivalents bar for this oil yet (same application, same grade, compatible base oil, and a score of 60 or more). That is not proof that nothing else works. Check the machine manual.
Can Chevron Canopus 13 be mixed with another oil?
Mixing two oils that share a base family is sometimes done and sometimes a mistake. Do not mix this oil with a PAG. For any other mix, follow the maker's change-over guidance and the machine manual.
