Oil specification
To ensure optimum engine life and performance, oils used for
topping-up and refilling the engine must match the minimum
ACEA specifications shown in the table. Oils of a higher numerical
specification can also be used (e.g. ACEA A3 oils can be used in
place of ACEA A2 oils for ‘ZT’ 160 models), but oils of a lower
numerical value must NEVER be used!
Oils manufactured to the specifications shown in the table are
suitable for use in temperatures between -20°C to 30°C (if climatic
temperature falls outside these limits, seek advice from your
dealer).
NOTE: Mixing oil additives with the engine oil is not recommended and
could damage the engine.
