CAPACITIES, FLUIDS, LUBRICANTS AND SEALANTS

09-3

Lubrication

General
The engine and other lubricating systems are filled 
with high performance lubricants giving prolonged 
life. 

CAUTION: Always use a high quality oil of the 
correct viscosity range in the engine. The use of 
oil of the incorrect specification can lead to high 
oil and fuel consumption and ultimately to 
damaged components.

Oil to the correct specification contains additives 
which disperse the corrosive acids formed by 
combustion and prevent the formation of sludge 
which can block the oil ways. Additional oil additives 
should not be used. 

Always adhere to the recommended servicing 
intervals.

Engine oil viscosity

The above chart indicates the ambient temperature 
ranges which each engine oil viscosity is suitable for.

Engine oil - Td6

meeting specifications ACEA - A3/B3; and having a 
viscosity band recommended for the temperature 
range of your locality.

Engine oil - V8 
Use either a 0W/30, 0W/40, 5W/30 or 5W/40 oil, 
meeting specifications ACEA - A3/B3; (API: SJ/CD, 
ECII for NAS market), and having a viscosity band 
recommended for the temperature range of your 
locality.
