oils that do not meet the dexos
specification, however, may result in
reduced performance under certain
circumstances.
Topping up Engine Oil
Engine Oils of different
manufacturers and brands can be
mixed as long as they comply with
the required Engine Oil (Quality and
Viscosity).
If Engine Oil of the required Quality
is not available, a maximum of
1 Litre ACEA A3/B3(Petrol) ACEA
A3/B4 or ACEA C3(Diesel) may be
used (only once between each oil
change).
The Viscosity should be of the
correct rating.
Use of Engine Oil with only ACEA
A1/B1 or only ACEA A5/B5 Quality
is prohibited, as it can cause long
term engine damage under certain
operating conditions.
Engine Oil Additives
The use of supplemental Engine Oil
Additives could cause damage and
invalidate the warranty.
Engine Oil Viscosity Grades
The SAE Viscosity Grade gives
information of the thickness of
the Oil.
Multigrade Oil is indicated by two
figures:
The first figure, followed by a W,
indicates the low temperature
Viscosity and the second figure
indicates the high temperature
Viscosity.

Service and Maintenance
SAE 5W-30 is the best Viscosity
Grade for your vehicle. Do not use
other Viscosity Grade Oils such as
SAE 10W-30, 10W-40 or 20W-50.
Cold temperature operation:
If operating your vehicle in an area
of extreme cold, where the
temperature falls below -25°C, a
Viscosity Grade SAE 0W-xx should
be used. An Oil of this Viscosity
Grade will provide easier cold
starting for the engine at extremely
low temperatures.
