Base Oil are specified like 100N / 150 N etc. What does this 150 & N specify ? Any idea ? If this 100 / 150 are the viscosities then how higher viscositiy Oil say 460 VG, are manufactured from this low viscosity base oil ?

Here N stands for neutral.Generally base oil describes as N 100 , SN 150 and BS 150.The numbers may not be indicative of vicosities.Because SN 150(solvent neutral) or N 150,whose viscosity @ 40°c is 30-35 cSt.In the same way BS 150,bright stoke 150 has a viscosity @40°c of more than 500 cSt and this oil is being used for making VG 460.

An base oil manufacturing company representative can give correct difinition.

The Base Oil viscosities generally follow the Saybolt system of viscosity classification. The lighter grades N (Neutral) and SN (Solvent Neutral) are measured at 100°F (SUS @100°F) while the heavier grades BS (Bright Stock) are measured at 210°F (SUS @210°F). The numbers represent the Saybolt Universal Seconds (SUS) value at the temperature of interest.
