Engine oil

In four stroke engines, the engine oil is used to lubricate the timing elements, the bench bearings and
the thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage to the engine.
In all four stroke engines, the deterioration of the oil characteristics, or a certain consumption should
be considered normal, especially if during the run-in period. Consumption levels in particular can be
influenced by the conditions of use (e.g.: oil consumption increases when driving at "full throttle".
