Service and maintenance  
Select the appropriate engine oil  
based on its quality and on the  
minimum ambient temperature  
3 288.  
Engine oil viscosity grades  
Recommended fluids,  
lubricants and parts  
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 3 288.  
Recommended fluids and  
lubricants  
Topping up engine oil  
Caution  
Only use products that meet the  
recommended specifications.  
In case of any spilled oil, wipe it up  
and dispose it properly.  
9 Warning  
Operating materials are  
hazardous and could be  
poisonous. Handle with care. Pay  
attention to information given on  
the containers.  
Engine oils of different manufacturers  
and brands can be mixed as long as  
they comply with the required engine  
oil quality and viscosity.  
Use of engine oils for all petrol  
engines with only ACEA quality is  
prohibited, since it can cause engine  
damage under certain operating  
conditions.  
Select the appropriate engine oil  
based on its quality and on the  
minimum ambient temperature  
3 288.  
All of the recommended viscosity  
grades are suitable for high ambient  
temperatures.  
Coolant and antifreeze  
Use only Lobrid antifreeze approved  
for the vehicle. Consult a workshop.  
The system is factory filled with  
coolant designed for excellent  
corrosion protection and frost  
protection down to approx. -37 °C.  
This concentration should be  
maintained all year round. The use of  
additional coolant additives that  
intend to give additional corrosion  
protection or seal against minor leaks  
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  
aging control, whereas viscosity  
grade gives information on the oil's  
thickness over a temperature range.  
Additional engine oil additives  
The use of additional engine oil  
additives could cause damage and  
invalidate the warranty.

can cause function problems. Liability  
for consequences resulting from the  
use of additional coolant additives will  
be rejected.  
Washer fluid  
Use only washer fluid approved for  
the vehicle to prevent damage of  
wiper blades, paintwork, plastic and  
rubber parts. Consult a workshop.  
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.  
AdBlue  
Only use AdBlue to reduce the  
nitrogen oxides in the exhaust  
emission 3 166.
