Lubricating oil
recommendations/
specifications
Oil performance
recommendations
Use of quality engine oil combined
with appropriate oil drain and filter
change intervals are critical factors in
maintaining engine performance
and durability.
Use of a high quality SAE 0 W40
heavy duty engine oil which meets
API CH4 and MB228.3 specifications
is recommended.
Oil viscosity recommendations
Use of multi-viscosity lubricating oil
has been found to reduce oil
consumption and improve engine
cranking in cold temperatures while
maintaining lubrication at high
operating temperatures.
While 0 W-40 oil is recommended
for most climates, refer to the
accompanying table for oil viscosity
recommendations for extreme
climates.
Note : Limited use of low viscosity
oils, may be used for easier starting
and providing sufficient oil flow at
ambient temperatures below -5
O
C.
However, continuous use of low
viscosity oils can decrease engine
life due to wear.
Gear box oil
Use multi-grade oil conforming
toSYN Gear EP 75 W-90 GL4 Gluf
grade specifications.
Change oil first at 9000 km, then at
36,000 km and thereafter at every
36,000 km.
Rear axle oil
Use Multi-grade oil conforming to
SAE 85W-140 grade with 7%
Anglamol-A 6043 by weight and API
GL5 specifications.
Change oil first at 9000 km, then at
36,000 km and thereafter at every
36,000 km.
Lubrication for clutch disc
splines
At the time of replacement or
remounting of clutch disc, smear
clutch disc splines with high temp
Synthetic grease 365 TS 25205 P1
for free movement of clutch disc
on drive shaft.
