(II) Lubricating Oil
Diesel engine shall use the diesel at CD level or above.
The viscosity number of selected oil is related to ambient temperature. When the temperature is low,
high viscosity will increase startup resistance and the engine can not reach starting speed easily so that
the startup is difficult. Therefore, proper brand of lubricating oil shall be used based on different ambient
temperature in different seasons and at different regions.
