Viscosity:
The viscosity of oil is classified according to the SAE standard.
Nowadays, multigrade oils are always used in cars. The proper-
ties of these oils facilitate starting the car in cold weather but
mean that the oil is also viscous enough to coat all moving parts
under high pressures and with high outside air temperatures.
Multigrade oils are graded with two viscosity’s, e.g. 5W-30,
where 5W meets certain viscosity requirements at –4°F
(–20°C), while 30 fulfils requirements at 212°F (100°C).
Oil capacity inc. filter (on changing) _____ 4.0 l
Fuel-tank capacity __________________ 17 U.S. gal. (64 l)
For optimum performance, we recommend
the following _____________________
93 AON*), unleaded
gasoline,
minimum 87 AON
The use of fuel with an octane rating lower than that recom-
mended can cause serious engine damage.
*) If the car is filled with 90 AON gasoline and the outdoor tem-
perature is above 77–86°F (25–30°C), a slight decrease in
engine performance may be noticeable.
