TEMPERATURE
LIMIT
V8i Engine One part anti-freeze
Diesel Engine One part water 50%
Complete protection-33°F
Vehicle may be driven away immediately from cold - 36°C
Safe limit protection-41°C
Coolant in mushy state. Engine may be started and driven away after warm-up
period-42°F
Lower protection-47°C
Prevents frost damage to cylinder head, block and radiator. Thaw out before
starting engine-53°F
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.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Catalyst vehicles
Vehicles equipped with catalytic converter are designed to use ONLY unleaded fuel. Unleaded fuel must be used
for the emission control system to operate properly. Its use will also reduce spark plug fouling, exhaust system
corrosion and engine oil deterioration.
Using fuel that contains lead will result in damage to the emission control system and could result in loss of
warranty coverage. The effectiveness of the catalysts in the catalytic converters will be seriously impaired if leaded
fuel is used. The vehicle is equipped with an electronic fuel injection system, which includes two oxygen sensors.
Leaded fuel will damage the sensors, and will deteriorate the emission control system.
Regulations require that pumps delivering unleaded fuel be labelledUNLEADED.Only these pumps have nozzles
which fit the filler neck of the vehicle fuel tank.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Lubrication system
The V8i full flow lubrication system uses a gear type oil pump which is driven from the front of the crankshaft. The
oil pump gears are housed in the front cover and the pressure relief valve, warning light switch and filter are also
fitted to the front cover.
Oil drawn through the centrally located steel gauze strainer in the sump, is pumped under pressure through oil
cooler located in the lower half of the main coolant radiator. The cooled oil then passes through the filter, before
being distributed from the main gallery via drillings, to the various components in the engine.
Lubrication to the thrust side of the cylinders is by oil grooves machined in each connecting rod big end joint face,
which are timed to align with holes in the big end journals on the power and exhaust strokes.
Lubrication system
1. Oil to cooler
2. Oil from cooler
