LUBRICANTS SELECTION





ENGINE OIL

CAUTION: Never use nondetergent or straight mineral oil.

Oil Identification Symbol
Use only engine oils displaying the EOLCS certification mark
on the container.




If these oils are not available, an API classification SJ EC or SJ/CD EC can be used.





Oil Viscosity
The SAE grade number indicates the viscosity of the oil. A proper SAE grade number should be selected according to ambient temperature.





SELECTION OF COOLANT

COOLANT
Relation between Antifreeze Concentration and Specific Gravity

Example
The safe operating temperature is -15° C (5° F) when the measured specific gravity is 1.058 at the coolant temperature of 20° C (68° F).

CAUTION:
1. If the concentration of the coolant is below 30%, the anti-corrosion property will be adversely affected. In addition, if the concentration is above 60%, both the anti-freeze and engine cooling properties will decrease, affecting the engine adversely. For these reasons, be sure to maintain the concentration level within the specified range.
2. Do not use a mixture of different brands of anti-freeze.
