sumption (lowest SAE viscosity class in each
case; observe possible restrictions of the
approved SAE viscosity classes).
To achieve the lowest possible fuel consumption,
it is recommended to use the engine oil specifi‐
cations marked in the table for the lowest SAE
viscosity class. Possible restrictions of the
