Caution
Do not mix oil of dierent brands together.
Oils of dierent brands are mostly not com-
patible with each other. If they are mixed, the
mixtures can cause components such as pis-
ton rings, cylinders etc. to seize up and cause
wear to moving parts. The best thing is to
keep to one brand and one type of lubricat-
ing oil for each subsequent service.
Limits concerning motor oil
If an analysis of the used lubricating oil is con-
ducted to determine its condition, consult the
overview below. Change the oil if one or more
of the conditions is not met.
note
- How often the oil has to be changed de-
pends on the characteristics of the fuel.
Only use the recommended fuels.
- The limit for the total base number is half
of that of new oil in the case of an analysis
method based on perchloric acid.
