1.4.15.2 Engine oil
Warning
Operating the engine with too high or too low an oil level may cause damage to the engine itself.
Never fill to beyond the MAX level, as excess oil combusting in the cylinder may cause a sudden increase
in engine speed.
Use only the specified oil type to ensure that the engine is protected adequately and maximise the
performance and durability of the engine itself.
Using oils of lower quality than indicated by the specifications will significantly shorten the lifespan of the
engine.
The viscosity of the oil must meet the requirements specified at the normal engine operating temperature.
Danger
Prolonged skin contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer.
If contact with oil cannot be avoided, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water as soon as
possible.
For guidelines on disposing correctly of used oil, see the section "Decommissioning and scrapping" in the
chapter "General safety rules".
1.4.15.2.1 SAE oil classification
This system classifies oils on the basis of viscosity only and does not take any other characteristic into
account.
The classification code consists of two numbers separated by the letter "W", where the first number
indicates the viscosity grade in cold conditions and the second number indicates the grade in high
temperature conditions.
