Anti-Freeze Concentration
The overall anti-freeze concentration should not fall,
by volume, below 50% to ensure that the anti-
corrosion properties of the coolant are maintained.
Anti-freeze concentrations greater than 60% are not
recommended as cooling efficiency will be impaired.
The following recommended quantities of anti-freeze
will provide frost protection to -48
°
C (-53
°
F):
Engine - TD5
Engine - V8
Lubrication
General
The engine and other lubricating systems are filled
with high-performance lubricants giving prolonged
life.
CAUTION: Always use a high quality oil of the
correct viscosity range in the engine. The use of
oil of the incorrect 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.
Engine oil viscosity
The above chart indicates the ambient temperature
ranges which each engine oil viscosity is suitable for.
Engine oil - V8 - low compression engine
Use a 10W/40 oil meeting specification ACEA: A2,
and having a viscosity band recommended for the
temperature range of your locality.
