16 Lubricants and cooling liquids
Viscosity
Viscosity means that a liquid is "syrupy" and in this case it applies to lubricating oil. The viscosity is largely dependent on the ambient temperature and is expressed in
terms of an SAE-standard.
Engine oil
Always use a type of oil that suits the environment in which the engine operates. We recommend the use of a 'four seasons' engine lubricant, branded SAE 15 W/40,
which is suitable for ambient temperatures of between -15 ºC and +35 ºC.
It is strongly recommended to use a type of engine lubrication oil made by a well-known manufacturer, with the following classifications:
Type:
15W40
API:
CD, CE of CF4
CCMC:
D4 of D5
