RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS

Engine

Strict adherence to the use of specified
lubricants is vital. Lower quality oils may
degenerate providing inadequate protection
before the next scheduled service. High oil
consumption may also result.
Throughout the life of the vehicle (including
topping up during the running-in period if
required) a fully synthetic 0W/40 oil must
be used.
A top quality fully synthetic 0W/40, such
as 'PETRONAS Syntium 7000' is suitable
for all climatic conditions likely to be
encountered.
See next page 'Recommended Lubricants'
section for further details.
NOTICE: Lotus recommends against the
use of any oil additives, the use of which
may invalidate the terms of the New
Vehicle Warranty.

'Severe Service' Conditions

Certain operating conditions can cause
rapid degradation of the engine and
transmission oil quality, either by the
accumulation of dirt particles or by the
absorption of water from condensation.
If any of the 'severe service' conditions
described below apply, it is recommended
that the oil and filter be changed twice as
frequently as is listed in the Maintenance
Schedule.
- Driving in dusty areas (e.g. on non-
tarmacked roads); Change the oil and
filter as soon as possible after driving in
a dust storm.
- Stop/start driving with frequent short
trips where the engine rarely warms up
thoroughly (especially in cold weather/
climates); and/or frequent or prolonged
idling.
- Non-competitive, occasional track use,
with repeated high rpm, wide throttle
openings and high oil temperatures.
For appropriate maintenance, discuss
with your dealer, also see page 10 'Track
Use & Competitive Use' for further
information.
Note: The use of the car off road or in
a competitive manner, including timed
runs or laps, will invalidate warranty and
require appropriate levels of expert car
preparation and servicing.
Refer also to the separate Warranty
Booklet, section 5 'Exclusions From
Warranty Coverage'.
Lotus recommends PETRONAS Products.
Please be aware that the use of products
with specifications other than those shown
on the next page could cause damage to
the engine and transmission that would not
be covered under the terms of the Lotus
vehicle warranty.
For fluid quantities please refer to the
capacities information in the 'Technical
Data' section.
For change intervals please refer to the
Maintenance Schedule contained within the
separate Maintenance Record booklet.
The approved lubricants have been developed
and tested in order to guarantee your car's
reliability and optimal performance through
time, respecting the required scheduled
maintenance as foreseen by Lotus.
