ENGINE OIL

Engine oil and oil filter change

Engine oil changes are to be carried out
depending on time intervals and mileage
intervals, since oil loses its lubrication
properties not only through engine operation
but also through aging.
Under exceptional conditions e.g.
frequent cold starts or predominantly
urban traffic and stop-and-go traffic, the
engine oil and engine oil filter should be
changed at shorter intervals rather than
the recommended maintenance schedule.
Engine oil filter elements should be replaced
at the same time as engine oil.
Service interval
Change every 10,000km or
6 months (But, every
5,000km or 3 months under

severe conditions)

Severe conditions
ï When most trips are less than 6km.
ï Operating when outside temperatures
remain below freezing and when most
trips are less than 16km.
ï When most trips include extended idling
and/or frequent low-speed operation
as in stop-and-go traffic.
ï When operating in dusty areas.

Checking procedure

Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe it, and reinsert
it.
Pull it out again and check that the oil level
is between max. and min. level marks. Also
check the oil on the dipstick rod for
contamination.
Capacity
3.75L
(including
oil filter)
The oil should not go above the "max" mark
on the dipstick. This would lead, for
example, to increased oil consumption,
fouling of the spark plugs and excessive
formation of carbon residue.
When replenishing, use the same
specification of oil as used at the last oil
change.

CAUTION
Engine oil level should be checked
with the vehicle standing on level ground
(before the operation of the engine).
If the engine is running, stop the engine
and allow 5 minutes for the oil to settle
before checking the level.
WARNING
Prolonged and repeated contact with
used engine oil may cause serious
skin disorders including dermatitis
and cancer. Avoid excessive contact,
wash thoroughly after contact.
Keep used engine oil out of reach of
children. Empty and used oil
containers must not be disposed of
in the household refuse waste. Use
your local authorized waste disposal
facilities when disposing of these.
