With their better temperature and oxidation stabil-
ity synthetic lubrication oils offer quite a few bene-
fits.
Oil change intervals
The longest permissible time a lubrication oil
should remain in an engine is 1 year. If the follow-
ing oil change intervals are not reached over a pe-
riod of 1 year, the oil change should be performed
at least once per year, irrespective of the operating
hours reached.

and for ambient temperatures higher than -10
°C.
When using fuels with a sulphur content of
more than 0.5% to 1% or under ambient tem-
peratures below -10 °C the oil change intervals
specified in the table must be halved. For fuels
with a sulphur content of more than 1% you
should consult the responsible service agen-
cy.
Fuels
Quality
You should only use commercially available brand
diesel fuel with a sulphur content below 0.5% and
ensure strict cleanliness when filling in. A higher
sulphur content has a negative effect on the oil
change intervals. Use only winter-grade diesel fuel
under low ambient temperatures. The fuel level
should always be topped up in due time so that the
fuel tank is never run dry, as otherwise filter and in-
jection lines need to be bled.
When using fuels with a Cetan number < 49 poor
starting and white smoke can be expected, in par-
ticular in connection with low ambient tempera-
tures.
The following fuel specifications are permitted:
DIN/EN 590; DIN 51 601; Nato Codes: F-54, F-75;
BS 2869: A1 and A2; ASTM D 975-78: 1-D and 2-
D.

Winter fuel
Danger
!
Fire hazard!
Diesel fuels must never be mixed with gaso-
line.
For winter operation use only winter diesel fuel, to
avoid clogging because of paraffin separation. At
very low temperatures disturbing paraffin separa-
tion can also be expected when using winter diesel
fuel.
