In plain words
Good for
Under-hood parts and tooling that runs hot and wet.
Not for
Strong acids or alkalis. Flame, sparks or high-current electrics (it is a nylon).
Upright is weaker
A printed part is strongest along its layers (flat, X-Y) and weaker across them (upright, Z). The table shows both. We turn the part so the load runs along the layers.

| Oil and grease | Better than general Nylon; resistant to most kinds of oil and grease |
Test conditions from the data sheet: not stated dry/conditioned; specimens X1C, chamber 52 °C, not annealed. These are lab numbers for test bars, not a working limit for your part. The real limit depends on the load, the time at temperature and the shape, which is why we ask about all three.
