Anyone have a copy of the new SAE J300?

SAE 16 viscosity and the new changes to J300 (and GF-6) have been covered ad nauseum here and elsewhere; documents abound. It's not an AFD prank.

Hmmmm....I guess I got pranked by a non-prank.
The motor oil portion of this site no longer interests me, so I wasn't aware of the change.
More info here for anyone who's interested:

Wonder how someone putting SAE16 in a 15w40 diesel would work out?

Somewhere on the side of the road on the phone to the tow company.

Which is exactly why they went with 16, 12, 8, etc... instead of 15, 20, 10...
Too easy to confuse with existing viscosities. I can see someone making the mistake of putting 15 weight oil in a diesel that takes 15w40 (especially if people use the erroneous "15W" designation).
I, for one, welcome our new -4w12 overlords.

Yeah but now all the chest beaters that were exclaiming how a 20W stayed in grade better than the heavier weights, may just have a rude awaking...
