ENGINE OIL
The correct engine oil level is of paramount
importance. An excessively high or low oil level
may result in irreparable damage being sus-
tained by the engine. The engine oil level must be
checked on a daily basis or whenever the vehicle
is refuelled, whichever occurs sooner.
In addition, it is imperative that only an approved
grade and specification of oil is used to avoid the
possibility of serious engine damage and prema-
ture wear. The use of "budget price" oil is a false
economy that must be avoided if the maximum
reliability and useful life is to be obtained from the
vehicle.
SG030B02GK-E
Recommended Oil
A multi grade oil having a specification which
meets A.P.I. specification of SH, SG or above is
recommended. The oil viscosity should be se-
lected according to the operating environment of
the engine by means of the table shown below.
The engine oil recommendations are complete in
themselves and the use of additives is neither
required nor recommended. The use of engine
oil additives may result in invalidation of the
vehicle warranty.
