SAE J306 is a standard that defines the viscometric properties of automotive gear oils. It is maintained by SAE International.^[1] Key parameters for this standard are the kinematic viscosity of the gear oil, the maximum temperature at which the oil has a viscosity of 150,000 cP, and a measure of its shear stability through the KRL test.
