Oil recommendations
Engine oil is a decisive factor on the performance
and lifetime of the engine.
■
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.
