GENERAL INFORMATION

The lubrication method is a fully force-fed, full-flow fil-
tration type. The oil pump is a gear type which is 
driven by the crankshaft via the timing belt.

ENGINE OILS
HEALTH WARNING

Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will 
result in the removal of natural fats from the skin, 
leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addi-
tion, used engine oil contains potentially harmful con-
taminants which may cause skin cancer. Adequate 
means of skin protection and washing facilities must 
be provided.

RECOMMENDED PRECAUTIONS

The most effective precaution is to adapt working 
practices which prevent, as far as practicable, the 
risk of skin contact with mineral oils, for example by 
using enclosed systems for handling used engine oil 
and by degreasing components, where practicable, 
before handling them. Other precautions:

• Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, 

particularly used engine oils.

• Wear protective clothing, including impervious 

gloves where practicable.

• Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly under-

pants, with oil.

• Do not put oily rags in pockets, the use of overalls 

without pockets will avoid this.

• Do not wear heavily soiled clothing and 

oil-impregnated foot-wear. Overalls must be 
cleaned regularly and kept separate from per-
sonal clothing.

• Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protec-

tion should be worn, for example, chemical gog-
gles or face shields; in addition an eye wash 
facility should be provided.

• Obtain first aid treatment immediately for open 

cuts and wounds.

• Wash regularly with soap and water to ensure all 

oil is removed, especially before meals (skin 
cleansers and nail brushes will help). After clean-
ing, the application of preparations containing 
lanolin to replace the natural skin oils is advised.

• Do not use petrol, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil, 

thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.

• Use barrier creams, applying them before each 

work period, to help the removal of oil from the 
skin after work.

• If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice 

without delay.

ENGINE OIL CHECK

M1121000900546

1. Pull out the level gauge slowly and check that the 

oil level is in the illustrated range.

2. Check that the oil is not excessively dirty, that 

there is no coolant or petrol mixed in, and that it 
has sufficient viscosity.

1. Start the engine and allow it to warm up until the 

temperature of the coolant reaches 80 

°C to 90 

°C.

WARNING

Use care as engine oil could be hot.

2. Remove the engine oil filler cap.
3. Remove the engine oil pan drain plug to drain 

engine oil.

4. Install a new engine oil pan drain plug gasket and 

then tighten the engine oil pan drain plug to the 
specified torque.

Tightening torque: 39 

± 5 Nm

engine oil conforming to the following classifica-
tion: ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4 or A5/B5 and API SG or
