Lubrication

LUBRICATION

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

CAUTION: You should always use a high quality oil of the correct viscosity range in the engine and gearbox during maintenance and when topping-up. The use of oil not to the correct 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 / TEMPERATURE RANGES

Use oil meeting specification RES.22.OL.G4 or the requirements of ACEA A2:96, and having a viscosity band recommended for the temperature range of your locality. Where oils to these RES and European specifications are not available, well known brands of oils meeting API SG or SG/CD quality should be used.

Manual gearbox

Use the following oils for refill or topping-up:

ESSO Gear oil BV 75W/80W SHELL SF5288 75W/80W TOTAL Transmission BV 75W/80W UNIPART Gear oil BV 75W/80W

The following oils may be used for topping-up only: BP Hypogear TL 75W/80W CASTROL EPX 75W/80W DUCKHAMS Hypoid PT 75W/80W

Gear linkage

Use a grease containing 3% Molybdenum Disulphide.

Automatic gearbox

Use only the following fluid for a complete refill: ESSO CVT fluid - EZL 799

Top-up only, use any fluid meeting the following specification:

ATF Dexron II specification - FN 1975.

General Greasing

Use Multipurpose Lithium Base Grease N.L.G.I. consistency No. 2.
