Lubricants And Parts........................ 163
Operating materials are hazardous and
could be poisonous. Handle with care.
Pay attention to information given on
the containers.
The detailed, up-to-date service schedule
for your vehicle is available at the
workshop.
Severe operating conditions exist if one
or more of the following circumstances
occur frequently: Cold starting, stop and
go operation, e.g.
for taxis and police vehicles, trailer
operation, mountain driving, driving on
poor and sandy road surfaces, increased
air pollution, presence of airborne sand
and high dust content, driving at
high altitude and large variations of
temperature.
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 engine oil
quality ensures e.g. engine cleanliness,
wear protection and engine oil ageing
control, whereas viscosity grade gives
information on the engine oil's thickness
over a temperature range.
Use the appropriate engine oil given on
the service schedule sheet handed over
by the selling dealer.
