CAR and DRIVER road tested a recreation of the Patentwagen, and they squirted SAE 30W oil into the open crankcase, as per overseeing Mercedes-Benz support technicians who provided the oil, and accompanied the C&D test drive.
As to the API 'SA' designation, there's no reporting with data any more granular as to early oil types, other than 'SA', which, as mentioned, has carried through into the 1930s.
