Lubrication Practice

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.

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 oil ways. Additional oil additives should not be used. Always adhere to the recommended servicing intervals.





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.
