4.2.1

Filling with engine oil (02)

Oil recommendations
Engine oil is a decisive factor on the performance
and lifetime of the engine.
■
Use a detergent engine oil which fulfils the
requirements for API service classes SF and
SG.
■
Check the API service label on the oil con-
tainer in order to ensure that it contains the
letters SF or SG.
■
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 5W-30 or 10W-30 (multi-grade
oils)
-25 – +35°C 5W-30 or 10W-30 (synthetic
multi-grade 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 dam-
age
Using SAE 30 oil (mono-
grade summer oil) at tem-
peratures lower than +5°C
may cause engine damage
due to insufficient lubrica-
tion.
■
Use only the prescribed
engine oil.
