Grade checks
- KV40 is inside ISO VG 46 (41.4–50.6 cSt).
- Computed viscosity index is 150 from the stored KV40 and KV100 (ASTM D2270). The listed index is 136, 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 Cetus PAO 46 an ISO VG 46 oil?
Yes. The catalogue lists it as ISO VG 46, which is a kinematic viscosity of 46 cSt at 40 °C, plus or minus 10 percent (41.4 to 50.6 cSt). Confirm the current data sheet before you fill a machine.
What is a Chevron Cetus PAO 46 equivalent?
Published oils in the same application and grade include Shell Corena S4 R 46. The match is from typical data-sheet values, not from an OEM approval. It is not an exact equivalent. Confirm the substitute with the machine builder.
Can Chevron Cetus PAO 46 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.
