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

Use oil meeting specification ACEA B2;96 or RES 22.Ol.PD2 and having a viscosity band recommended for the temperature range of your locality. Where oils to these Rover and European specifications are not available, well known brands of oils meeting API SG or SG/CD or API SH quality should be used.

Manual gearbox

Use Texaco MTF 94 for refill or 10W/40 engine oil for topping-up.

Power Steering

Use an Automatic Transmission Fluid meeting Dexron II D specification.

General Greasing

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

Bonnet latch

Lubricate cable and latch with oil.

Locks, Latches and Hinges

Use Door Lock and Latch Lubricant, Part No. VWN 10075.
