MAINTENANCE MANUAL3.2. Specification of fluids
3.2.1. Engine oil
Engine oil is specified by its performance and viscosity
classifications.
Performance classification according to
API (AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE)
CCMC (COMMITE of COMMON MARKET AUTOMOBILE
CONSTRUCTORS).
ACEA (ASSOTIATION DES CONSTRUCTEURS EURO-
PÉENS DE AUTOMOBILE)
Viscosity classification
To determine SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers)
viscosity class, the ambient temperature and type of ope-
ration in place of usage of the machine are decisive.
Permitted oil according to API: CH-4/SJ; CI-4
All season - SAE 15W-40 (e.g. Valvoline, Premium Blue,).
NOTE
Exceeding of the lower temperature limit does not dama-
ge the engine, it may only cause starting problems.
It is suitable to use general-purpose multi-grade oil in
order that oil need not be exchanged because of ambient
temperature changes.
For easier start at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F), SAE
10W-30 oil is recommended by the engine manufacturer.
! WARNING !
Exceeding the upper temperature limit must not last
for long, taking into consideration reduced lubrica-
ting properties of oil.
When using oil according to API CF-4/SH, the
exchange interval should be cut to one half, i.e. 125
hours or 3 months.
