GENERAL 

INFORMATION 

support 

areas 

cates that the viscosity testing was done at low tempera- 
ture to simulate cold-weather operation. Engine oils fall 
into the 5 to 50 range. 

Multigrade  oils  (for  example  5W-20)  have  been 

changed by additives that modify the oil to be less viscous 
(thinner) at low temperatures and more viscous (thicker) 
at high temperatures. This allows the oil to perform effi- 
ciently across  a  wide  range of  engine operating condi- 
tions.  The lower the number, the easier the engine will 
start in cold climates. Higher numbers are usually recom- 
mended for engines running in hot weather conditions. 

Greases 

Grease is lubricating oil with thickening agents added 

to  it. The National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI) 

grades grease. Grades range from No. 000 to No. 6, with 
No. 

6 being the thickest. Typical multipurpose grease is 

NLGI  No. 

2. 

For  specific  applications, manufacturers 

may recommend water-resistant type grease or one with 
an additive such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). 

Brake 

fluid 

Brake fluid is the hydraulic fluid used to transmit hy- 

draulic pressure (force) to the wheel brakes. Brake fluid is 
classified  by  the  Department of Transportation (DOT). 
Current designations for  brake fluid are DOT 

3, DOT 4 

and DOT 5. This classification appears on the fluid con- 
tainer. 

Each type of brake fluid has its own definite character- 

istics. Do not intermix different types of brake fluid. DOT 
5 fluid is silicone-based. DOT 5 is not compatible with 
other fluids or in systems for which it was not designed. 
Mixing DOT 5  fluid with other fluids may cause  brake 
system  failure. When  adding  brake  fluid,  only  use  the 
fluid recommended by the manufacturer. 

Brake fluid will damage any plastic, painted or plated 

surface it contacts. Use extreme care when working with 
brake fluid and remove any spills immediately with soap 
and water. 

Hydraulic brake  systems  require  clean  and  moisture 

free brake fluid. Never reuse brake fluid. Keep containers 

and reservoirs properly sealed. 

WA R N I N G

Never 

pour a mineral-based (petroleum) 

oil 

into  the  brake  system.  Mineral  oil  causes 
rubber  parts  in  the  system  to  swell  and 
break  apart,  resulting 

in  complete  brake 

failure. 

Cleaners, Degreasers 

and Solvents 

Many chemicals are available to remove oil, grease and 

other residue from the vehicle. 

Before using cleaning solvents, consider how they will 

be used and disposed of, particularly if they are not wa- 
ter-soluble. Local ordinances may require special proce- 

dures  for  the  disposal  of  many  types  of  cleaning 
chemicals.  Refer  to  Safety  and  Cleaning  Parts  in  this 
chapter for more information on their use. 

Use brake parts cleaner to clean brake system compo- 

nents when using petroleum-based products will damage 
seals. Brake parts cleaner leaves no residue. Use electrical 

contact cleaner to clean electrical connections and com- 
ponents without leaving any residue. Carburetor cleaner 
is a  powerful solvent used to  remove fuel deposits and 

varnish from 

fad 

system components. Use  this cleaner 

carefully, as it may damage finishes. 

Generally,  degreasers are  strong cleaners  used  to  re- 

move  heavy  accumulations of  grease  from  engine and 

frame components.
