Engine Oil Quality

It is important that the following API and CCMC classes be used:

EnginesSingle and multi-grade oilsEasy run oils
Normally aspiratedAPI SF/CD, API SG/CD,API SF/CD, API SG/CD,
diesel/TurbodieselAPI CD,CCMC-G5/PD2
CCMC-PD2

Important!

CD oils designated by manufacturers specially for diesel engines are not suitable for petrol engines, unless a suitable performance class for petrol engines (e.g. API SF/CCMC-G4) is also indicated.

Disposal

Observe the relevant national regulations when disposing of used oil.
