aging control, whereas viscosity  
grade gives information on the oil's  
thickness over a temperature range.  
Dexos is the newest engine oil quality  
that provides optimum protection for  
gasoline and diesel engines. If it is  
unavailable, engine oils of other listed  
qualities have to be used.  
Recommendations for gasoline  
engines are also valid for  
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG),  
Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) and  
Ethanol (E85) fuelled engines.

Damage resulting from the use of  
products not in line with these  
specifications will not be covered by

The service interval is based on  
several parameters depending on

9 Warning  
Operating materials are  
hazardous and could be  
poisonous. Handle with care. Pay  
attention to information given on  
the containers.  
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.  
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  
oil quality ensures e.g. engine  
cleanliness, wear protection and oil  
Use of engine oil with only  
ACEA A1/B1 or only A5/B5 quality is  
prohibited, since it can cause long-  
term engine damage under certain  
operating conditions.

Select the appropriate engine oil  
based on its quality and on the  
minimum ambient temperature  
3 270.  
Coolant and antifreeze  
Use only organic acid type-long life  
coolant (LLC) antifreeze approved for  
the vehicle. Consult a workshop.  
The system is factory filled with  
Additional engine oil additives  
The use of additional engine oil  
additives could cause damage and  
invalidate the warranty.  
coolant designed for excellent  
corrosion protection and frost  
protection down to approx. -28 °C. In  
northern countries with very low  
temperatures the factory filled coolant  
provides frost protection down to  
approx. -37°C. This concentration  
should be maintained all year round.  
The use of additional coolant  
Engine oil viscosity grades  
The SAE viscosity grade gives  
information of the thickness of the oil.  
Multigrade oil is indicated by two  
figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first  
figure, followed by a W, indicates the  
low temperature viscosity and the  
second figure the high temperature  
viscosity.  
Select the appropriate viscosity grade  
depending on the minimum ambient  
temperature 3 270.  
additives that intend to give additional  
corrosion protection or seal against  
minor leaks can cause function  
problems. Liability for consequences  
resulting from the use of additional  
coolant additives will be rejected.  
Brake and clutch fluid  
Over time, brake fluid absorbs  
moisture which will reduce braking  
effectiveness. The brake fluid should  
therefore be replaced at the specified  
interval.  
All of the recommended viscosity  
grades are suitable for high ambient  
temperatures.
