LUBRICANTS SELECTION
ENGINE OIL
Caution
Never use non
-detergent or straight mineral oil.


Oil Identification Symbol
Use only engine oils displaying the EOLCS certification mark on the container.
If these oils are not available, an API classification SH ECII or SH/CD ECII can be used.
Oil Viscosity
The SAE grade number indicates the viscosity of the oil. A proper SAE grade number should be selected according to ambient temperature.
NOTE
*:SAE 5W-30 may be used for operation in very cold weather areas where the lowest ambient temperature is below - 10°F (- 23°C).

Example
The safe operating temperature is -15°C (5°F) when the measured specific gravity is 1.058 at the coolant temperature of 20°C (68°F).
Caution
1.If the concentration of the coolant is below 30%, the anti-corrosion property will be adversely affected. In addition, if the concentration is above 60%, both the anti-freeze and engine cooling properties will decrease, affecting the engine adversely. For these reasons, be sure to maintain the concentration level within the specified range.
2.Do not use a mixture of different brands of anti-freeze.
