Lubrication system
Circuit description
The lubrication circuit is forced by the trochoid gear pump, and it is composed of the following
elements.
Oil specifications
Use oil with 15W40 viscosity (this is an all-season oil for
temperatures ranging between -15ºC and +40ºC) or select the most suitable
oil viscosity for the atmospheric temperatures on which the engine is going
to be operated. On the other hand, use oil quality no less than ACEA E5/E3
or API CH-4/SJ. Other engine oils may affect warranty coverage, cause
internal engine components to seize and/or shorten engine life.
Never mix different types of engine oil. This may adversely affect the
lubricating properties of the engine oil.
Maintenance task. Oil filter change
The oil filter is located under inlet manifold of the engine.
Remove oil filter with a belt wrench. When fitting a fresh oil filter,
smear a small quantity of oil into the annular seal and firmly tighten it
with the hand. When this operation is finished, start the engine and
check oil is not leaking.
