All motor oil is "SAE". SAE is the Society of Automotive Engineers, and is the governing body that sets and maintains the standards for viscosity. SAE 10W30 for example means: "This oil is a 10-30W multigrade as defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers". The SAE marking on a bottle of oil does NOT indicate quality, nor does it indicate whether that particular oil is suitable for your application. In other words, you can pick up a bottle of oil that will bear the SAE logo, but that does NOT mean it's the right stuff for your engine.

| Best way would be to find out the part number for your coil. Then you can google the part number and find out all the other engines it fits.
