GB
■
Use a detergent engine oil which fulfils the
requirements for API service classes SE and
SF.
■
Check the API service label on the oil con-
tainer in order to ensure that it contains the
letters SE or SF.
■
Choose the SAE viscosity class according to
the following table:
Tempera- SAE viscosity class
ture range
+5 – +35°C SAE 30 (monograde summer
oil)
-15 – +5 °C 10W-30 (multigrade oils)
-25 – +35°C 10W-30 (synthetic multigrade
oils)
■
The use of multi-grade oils can result in a
higher consumption at higher temperatures.
Therefore check the oil level more frequently.
■
Do not mix oils of different grades and with
different properties.
IMPORTANT!
Danger of engine damage
Using SAE 30 oil (monograde summer
oil) at temperatures lower than +5°C
may cause engine damage due to insuf-
ficient lubrication.
■
Use only the prescribed engine oil.
