ENGINE OIL

This chapter describes the engine oil which is used for this engine.
Engine Oil
Refer to the Engine Oil Properties
table in this Operation & Maintenance
Manual, and even if one item exceeds
the limit, the engine oil must not be
used.
* Otherwise, seizure of the sliding parts may
occur, which could cause serious damage to
the devices.
Use the genuine engine oil specified
in this Operation & Maintenance
Manual.
* Otherwise, seizure of bearings, breakage of a
valve, sticking of a piston ring, seizure between
a ring and a cylinder, premature wear of
bearings and sliding parts may occur, which
could shorten the service life of the engine.
Conduct analysis of the engine oil
periodically and check to make sure
that the engine oil does not show
milky color.
* If the engine oil shows milky color, water may
be mixed into the engine oil system due to
coolant leak or a damaged cylinder liner O-ring.
Sustained use of the engine without any
remedy could cause seizure of the crankshaft
and lead to serious damage to the devices.
Keep the quantity and properties
(viscosity) of the engine oil at the
specified level.
* If the supply or kinematic viscosity of engine oil
is too low, insufficient lubrication of the bearing
could occur, which could cause seizure of the
crankshaft.
* If kinematic viscosity of engine oil increases,
fuel consumption will increase.
