Warning
Operating materials are
hazardous and could be
poisonous. Handle with care. Pay
attention to information given on
the containers.
Engine Oil
Engine Oil is identified by its Quality
and its Viscosity Grade. "Quality"
and "Specification" are equivalent
terms in this respect. Engine Oil
Quality is more important than
Viscosity when selecting which
Engine Oil to use. The Oil Quality
ensures e.g. engine cleanliness,
wear protection and oil aging
control, whereas Viscosity Grade
gives information on the oil
’
s
thickness over a temperature range.
Engine Oil Quality for Service
Gasoline: dexos 1
™
Diesel: dexos 2
™
Selecting the right Engine Oil
Selecting the right Engine Oil
depends on the proper Oil
Specification and SAE Viscosity
Grade.
Use and ask for Engine Oils with
the dexos
™
Certification Logo. Oils
meeting the requirements of your
vehicle should have the dexos
™
Certification Logo on the container.
Your vehicle ’ s Engine was filled at
the factory with dexos
™
approved
Engine Oil.
Use only Engine Oil that is
approved to the dexos
™
Specification or an equivalent
Engine Oil of the appropriate
Viscosity Grade. Failure to use the
recommended Engine Oil or
equivalent can result in engine
damage not covered by the vehicle
warranty.
If you are unsure whether your oil is
approved to the dexos
™
Specification, ask your service
provider.
Topping up Engine Oil
Engine Oils of different
manufacturers and brands can be
mixed as long as they comply with
the required Engine Oil (Quality and
Viscosity).
