OIL UALITY (engine)
According to API .... . . . . . . not less than SE*
Olls designated SE, SF, SE/CC and SF/CD meet
this requlrement, but under no circumstances
may SE/CD oils be used.
Synthetic or semisynthetic oils may be used if
their specifications comply uvith the abovei.
Capacity 3. 85 litres (6. 8 UK pints)(excl. oil
filter 3. 35 litres 5. 9 UK pints).
Turbo-engined cars add 0. 6 litres (l UK pint)
if oil cooler is drained.
* SAE 15U/50 or SAE 20U/50 oils åre recommended for
use in extreme dnving condi. tdohs which involve
high oil consumption-and high oil temperatures,
e. g. mountain driving with frequent decelerations
or fast motorway driving. (Note however the lower
temperature limits.)
