MAINTENANCE MANUAL
3.2.1. Engine oil
Engine oil has been specied as per its performance classica-
tion and viscosity classication.
Performance classication under
API (AMETICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE)
CCMC (COMMITE OF COMMON MARKET AUTOMOBILE CON-
STRUCTORS)
ACEA (ASSOTIATION DES CONSTRUCTEUERS EUROPPÉENS DE
AUTOMOBILE)
Viscosity classication
To determine SAE (SOCIETY OF AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERS) vis-
cosity class the ambient temperature and type of operations at
the place where the Machine will be used are decisive.
The use of admissible oil under API: CH-4/SJ; CI-4
CCMC DHD-1
ACEA: E-5
API CI-4 oil is recommended as especially appropriate.
All the year round: SAE 15W-40, refer to Fig.
Note
Exceeding low temperature limit leads to no engine damage; it
may only cause some starting diculties.
It is convenient to use universal multi-range oils so to avoid any
necessity to exchange oil due to ambient temperature.
It is possible to use synthetic engine oils when oils’ performance
and viscosity classications correspond to the recommended
mineral oils.
Exchange periods shall be observed at the same intervals like
when mineral oils are used.
To perform starting at the temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) easier
the engine manufacturer recommends SAE 10W-30 oil.
Exceeding upper temperature limit, with
regard to oil’s reduced capabilities, must
not last for some long period.
When using oil under API CG-4/SH the
exchange interval must be reduced to
half, i.e. 125 hours.
