Tab. 37 Engine oil recommendation
2.6.3 Fuel recommendation
The diesel fuel must meet the requirements of EN 590 and ASTM D975 respectively.
According to these standards a specific portion of bio-diesel is permitted in the fuel.
Depending on the country of origin, bio-diesel can be produced from different plant materials and
thus have different properties.
Affected by temperature, atmospheric oxygen, and time, these bio-diesel components in the fuel
may decompose in the fuel and thus cause damages within the fuel system.
The use of other fuels as well as the mixing with additives is only permitted after consultation
with the engine manufacturer.
The engine service manual gives further information on fuel use.
2.6.4 Recommended Cooling Fluid
The engine coolant must meet the requirements of specification ASTM D4985.
Do not use a common coolant / antifreeze that only meets the requirements of ASTM D3306.
Such coolants are intended only for light use in vehicles and could shorten the useful life of
the engine.
The engine service manual gives further information on coolant application.
