the warranty.
9 Warning
Operating materials are
hazardous and could be
poisonous. Handle with care. Pay
attention to information given on
the containers.
Engine oil
Engine oil is identified by its quality
and its viscosity. Quality is more
important than viscosity when
selecting which engine oil to use. The
oil quality ensures e.g. engine
cleanliness, wear protection and oil
aging control, whereas viscosity
grade gives information on the oil's
thickness over a temperature range.

dexos 2 ＝ 1.4L Petrol engine,
2.0L Diesel engine
Selecting the right engine oil
Selecting the right engine oil depends
on the proper oil specification and
viscosity grade.
Use and ask for engine oils with the
dexos certification mark. Oils meeting
the requirements of your vehicle
should have the dexos certification
mark on the container. This
Service and maintenance
certification mark indicates that the oil
has been approved to the dexos
specification.
Your vehicle was filled at the factory
with dexos approved engine oil.
Use only engine oil that is approved
to the dexos specification or an
equivalent engine oil of the
appropriate viscosity grade. Failure to
use the recommended engine oil or
equivalent can result in engine
damage not covered by the vehicle
warranty.
If you are unsure whether your oil is
approved to the dexos specification,
ask your service provider.
Use of substitute engine oils if dexos
is unavailable: In the event that
dexos-approved engine oil is not
available at an oil change or for
maintaining proper oil level, you may
use substitute engine oil of the
qualities mentioned above. Use of
oils that do not meet the dexos
specification, however, may result in
reduced performance under certain
circumstances.
