Lubricating system
Oil change intervals can vary from 25 to 200 hours depending on engine type, grade of lubricant and the sulphur
content in the fuel.
IMPORTANT! Oil change intervals must never exceed 12 months.
If you would like longer oil change intervals than those specified in the table below, samples of the lubricant must
be sent regularly to the oil manufacturer for checking.
Viscosity
Select the viscosity from the table for constant
exterior temperatures.
*Refers to synthetic or semi-synthetic oil

NOTE! Mineral based synthetic or semi-synthetic oil can be used on condition that it meets the oil grades
above.
1)
If the sulphur content in the fuel exceeds 1.0 wt.%, an oil with TBN14–20 must be used (TBN=Total Base Number)
2) The oil must be changed at least once a year
