This document is a gasoline engine oil viscosity selection chart titled "Outside Temperature Range Anticipated Before Next Oil Change." It presents a vertical thermometer graphic marked in both Celsius and Fahrenheit (+40°C/+104°F, +15°C/+59°F, 0°C/+32°F, -10°C/+14°F, -20°C/-4°F, -30°C/-22°F) alongside four double-headed arrows indicating the ambient temperature ranges suitable for different SAE oil viscosity grades. 5W-30 and 5W-40 oils cover the entire temperature range, including temperatures below -30°C (-22°F). 10W-30, 10W-40, and 10W-50 are suitable down to approximately -20°C (-4°F). 15W-40 and 15W-50 are suitable down to approximately -10°C (+14°F). 20W-40 and 20W-50 are suitable down to approximately 0°C (+32°F), with a hatched band at the freezing point marking their lower limit. The illustration carries the reference code JPPIA0003GB. A reader can use this chart to select the correct gasoline engine oil viscosity based on the coldest and warmest outside temperatures expected before the next oil change. The document itself does not state a make, model, or year.

Frequently asked questions

Which engine oil viscosity works across the full temperature range on this chart?
5W-30 and 5W-40 cover the entire range shown, from below -30°C (-22°F) to above +40°C (+104°F).
What is the lowest temperature recommended for 10W-30, 10W-40, or 10W-50 oil?
The chart shows these grades suitable down to approximately -20°C (-4°F).
When can 20W-40 or 20W-50 oil be used according to this chart?
Only when the anticipated outside temperature stays at or above about 0°C (+32°F), the hatched line on the chart.
What is the lower temperature limit for 15W-40 and 15W-50 oils?
Approximately -10°C (+14°F) per the chart's arrow range.
Does this chart apply to diesel engines?
No, the chart is labeled 'GASOLINE ENGINE OIL' only.
