Engine Oil Viscosity
The following engine oils can be used:
A = single-grade oils
B = multigrade oils
C = easy run oils
depending on the outside temperature.
Engine Oil Quality
It is important that the following API and CCMC classes are
used:
Engines Single and multigrade oils Easy run oils
Petrol API-SF/CC, SF/CD, SG/CC,
SG/CD, CCMC/G4 API-SF/CC, SF/CD, SG/CD
CCMC-G5/PD2
Important!
CD engine oils designed by manufacturers specially for diesel
engines are not suitable for petrol engines, unless a sufficient
performance class for petrol engines (e.g. API-SF/CCMC-G4)
is also indicated.
Disposal.
Observe the relevant national regulations when disposing of
used oil.

2 Thermostat
3 Radiator
4 Reserve Tank5 Coolant Distributor
6 Cylinder Block and Head
7 Throttle Body
8 Heater
The Cooling System is a pressurized type, where the water
pump, which is cambelt driven, forces the circulation of
the coolant through the cylinder block and head. The
thermostat regulates the flow of coolant between the
radiator and the bypass circuit. The heater is part of the
bypass circuit. The throttle body pre-heat is a separate
circuit which is not regulated by the thermostat. An oil
cooler may be fitted as part of this circuit.
