Attention
In engines equipped with timing variators it
may happen that a certain quantity of engine oil
remains in the cylinder heads when the engine is off
and requires a certain amount of time to flow
completely into the oil sump. This could lead to an
incorrect measurement of the oil level.
Recommendations concerning oil
It is recommended to use oil complying with the
following specifications:
●
viscosity grade SAE 15W-50;
●
standard API: SN;
●
standard JASO: MA2.

complying with the following specifications:

oil class based on viscosity: two figures with a W

viscosity at low temperature; the second figure
indicates its viscosity at high temperature. API
