2.3 Oil

Important
• The engine may be damaged if operated with improper oil level.
• Do not exceed the MAX level because a sudden increase in engine rpm could be caused by its combustion.
• Use only the recommended oil to ensure adequate protection, efficiency and service life of the engine.
• The use of lubricants other than recommended may shorten the engine life.
•
Viscosity must be appropriate to the ambient temperature to which the engine is to be exposed.
Danger
• Prolonged skin contact with the exhausted engine oil can cause cancer of the skin.
• If contact with oil cannot be avoided, thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water as soon as possible.
• For the exhausted oil disposal, refer to the Par. DISPOSAL and SCRAPPING .
2.4.1 SAE oil classification
• In the SAE classification, oils are identified according to viscosity without considering any other qualitative
characteristic.
•
The code is composed of two numbers, which indicate, and must correspond to, the ambient temperature in
which the engine operates, the first number refers to the viscosity when cold, for use during winter (" W "), while
the second number is for viscosity at high temperatures.

WITH
SPECIFICATIONS
VISCOSITY
• Low S.A.P.S. technology (oil with low Sulfated Ash, Phosphorus, Sulfur content) keeps catalyst in good working
conditions. The presence of sulfated ash, phosphorus and sulfur causes with time the catalyst clogging and its
consequent inefficiency.
•
For Mid S.A.P.S oil sequence the sulfated ash level is the same as API CJ-4 ≤ 1.0% but as per ACEA
standardization those oils are referenced as mid SAPS.
•
Filtration of oils is critical to proper operation and lubrication; always change filters regularly as specified in this
manual.
(*1) NOTA : Do NOT use fuel with sulphur content above 15ppm.
(*2) - On all engines compliant with Stage-V emission regulation (engines with DPF device), the oil to use must
comply with the specification API CJ-4 Low S.A.P.S or ACEA E6 Low S.A.P.S.
(*3) - NOTE : Do NOT use fuel with sulphur content above 500ppm.
(*3) - NOTE : Low S.A.P.S. oils, sulfate ashes <1% may not be used with fuels with a sulfur content >50ppm.
