MAINTENANCE MANUAL
3.2.1. Engine Oil
Engine oil has been specied according to the performance
classication and viscosity classication.
Performance classication as per
API (AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE)
CCMC (COMMITTEE OF COMMON MARKET AUTOMOBILE CON-
STRUCTORS)
ACEA (ASSOTIATION DES CONSTRUCTEUERS EUROPPÉENS DE
AUTOMOBILE)
Viscosity classication
Ambient temperature and type of operation at the location
where the Machine is used are decisive to determine the SAE
(Society of Automotive Engineers) viscosity class.
Use of admissible oils under API: CH-4/SJ; CI-4
CCMC DHD1
ACEA: E-5
Year round SAE 15W-40, refer to the Table.
Note:
Exceeding low temperature limit will not lead to any engine
damage. It may only cause problems when starting the engine.
It is appropriate to use universal multi/grade oils so there shall be
no need to exchange oil due to ambient temperature change.
The use of synthetic engine oils is possible if performance and
viscosity classication of oils corresponds to mineral oils recom-
mended.
Exchange periods must be observed to be of identical intervals
like when using mineral oils.
To make starting easier at the temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F)
the engine oil producer recommends SAE 10W-30 oil.
Exceeding upper temperature limit must
not last too long due to lowered lubricat-
ing capability of oil.
When using oil under API CF-4/SH you
must halve exchange interval, i.e. 125
hours or 6 weeks.
