8In order to prevent clutch slippage (since
the transmission oil also lubricates the
clutch), do not mix any chemical additives.
Do not use oils with a diesel specification
of “CD” or oils of a higher quality than
specified. In addition, do not use oils
labeled “ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
higher.
8Make sure that no foreign material enters
the crankcase.
