LUBRICATION PRACTICE

Use a high quality oil of the correct viscosity range and service classification in the engine during maintenance and
when topping up. The use of oil not to the correct specification can lead to high oil and fuel consumption and
ultimately to damaged components.

Oil to the correct specification contains additives which disperse the corrosive acids formed by combustion and
prevent the formation of sludge which can block the oilways. Additional oil additives should not be used. Always
adhere to the recommended servicing intervals.

WARNING: Many liquids and other substances used in motor vehicles are poisonous. They must
not be consumed and must be kept away from open wounds. These substances, among others,
include anti-freeze windscreen washer additives, lubricants and various adhesives.

CAUTION: Anti-freeze content must never be allowed to fall below 25% otherwise damage to the
engine is liable to occur. Also, anti-freeze content should not exceed 60% as this will greatly
reduce the cooling effect of the coolant.

INFORMATION

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

Catalyst vehicles

Vehicles equipped with catalytic converter are designed to use ONLY unleaded fuel. Unleaded fuel must be used
for the emission control system to operate properly. Its use will also reduce spark plug fouling, exhaust system
corrosion and engine oil deterioration.

Using fuel that contains lead will result in damage to the emission control system and could result in loss of
warranty coverage. The effectiveness of the catalysts in the catalytic converters will be seriously impaired if leaded
fuel is used. The vehicle is equipped with an electronic fuel injection system, which includes two oxygen sensors.
Leaded fuel will damage the sensors, and will deteriorate the emission control system.

Regulations require that pumps delivering unleaded fuel be labelled UNLEADED. Only these pumps have nozzles
which fit the filler neck of the vehicle fuel tank.

RECOMMENDED FUEL

Petrol engines

- with catalytic converter

unleaded only, 95 RON (USA 90 CLC or AKI)

..........................................

- non catalytic, 9.35:1 compression ratio

leaded 97 RON/unleaded 95 RON

.................

- non catalytic, 8.13:1 compression ratio

leaded 90 RON/unleaded 95 RON

.................

- Australia

minimum 91 RON unleaded

................................................................

Diesel engines

- 300Tdi

Diesel fuel oil, distillate, diesel fuel, automotive gas or

...................................................................

Derv to British standard 2869, (1983) class A1 or A2.

Using fuel with an octane rating lower than stated above could seriously impair vehicle performance.

CAUTION: Do not use oxygenated fuels such as blends of methanol/gasoline or ethanol/gasoline
(e.g. ’Gasohol’). Take care not to spill fuel during refuelling.
