MAINTENANCE MANUAL
3.2.1. Engine oil
Engine oil is specified by its performance and viscosity classifica-
tions.
Performance classification according to
API (AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE)
ACEA (ASSOTIATION DES CONSTRUCTEURS EUROPÉENS DE AU-
TOMOBILE)
Viscosity classification
To determine SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) viscosity
class, the ambient temperature and type of operation in place
of usage of the machine are decisive.
Permitted oil according to API: CF
Permitted oil according to ACEA: E-3, E-4 a E-5
All season - SAE 15W-40 (e.g. Valvoline, Premium Blue,).
NOTE
Exceeding of the lower temperature limit does not damage the
engine, it may only cause starting problems.
It is suitable to use general-purpose multi-grade oil in order that
oil need not be exchanged because of ambient temperature
changes.
Use of synthetic engine oils is permited subjekt to the same per-
formance and viskosity limitations of minarel (petroleum) based
engine oils. The same oil change intervals must be applied to
the synthetic oils that are applied to mineral (petroleum)based
engine oils.
For easier start at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F), SAE 10W-30
oil is recommended by the engine manufacturer.
Exceeding the upper temperature limit must not last
for long, taking into consideration reduced lubricating
properties of oil.
