and lifetime of the engine.
26
■
Use a detergent engine oil that meets the re-
quirements for API service class SF or higher
(or equivalent).
■
Check the API service label on the oil con-
tainer in order to ensure that the letters SF or
those of a higher (or equivalent) class are
present.
■
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general
use. The recommended operating tempera-
ture range for this engine is 0 °C to 40 °C.
■
The use of multi-grade oils can result in a
higher consumption at higher temperatures.
Therefore check the oil level more frequently.
■
Do not mix oils of different grades and with
different properties.
IMPORTANT! Danger of engine damage.
Using SAE 30 oil (monograde summer oil) at
temperatures lower than +5°C may cause engine
damage due to insufficient lubrication.
■
Use only the prescribed engine oil.
Filling with oil
NOTE The oil capacity for the engine is
max. 0.5 l.
NOTE Do not fill oil level above MAX. Too
much oil will cause:
■
Smoke in the exhaust

ter
1. Fill engine oil into a suitable container.
2. Remove the oil dipstick (03/1) from the oil fill-
