- Pour Point - Pour point indicates the lowest temperature at which an oil remains capable of flowing under a specified test method.
- Flash Point - Flash point is an important safety and handling characteristic.
- Sulfur Content - Sulfur is one of the parameters used in API base-oil classification.
- Saturates - Saturates are another important characteristic used to classify base oils.
