3.2.1 Engine oil
The engine oil is specied according to the performance and
viscosity classication.
Performance classication according to
API (AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE)
ACEA (ASSOTIATION DES CONSTRUCTEUERS EUROPPÉENS DE
AUTOMOBILE)
Viscosity classication
To determine the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) viscos-
ity class, the ambient temperature and type of operation where
the machine is used are decisive.
Use of permissible oils according to API: CF, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4,
CI-4
SAE 15W-40 year-round
If afuel with ahigh sulphur content is used, use only CF oil.
Note
Exceeding the lower temperature limit does not result in dam-
age to the engine; it can only cause some starting diculties.
It is recommended that universal multi-range oils are used to
avoid the necessity of oil changes due to changes of ambient
temperature.
For easy starts at the temperatures below 0°C (32°F), the engine
manufacturer recommends the SAE 10W-30 oil.
Exceeding the upper temperature limit, considering the
reduced lubricating capabilities of the oil must not last
for long.
