Engine oil viscosity Viscosity describes the flow characteristics
of afluid. If an engine oil has ahigh viscosity
rating, it flow sslowly;t he lower the viscosity,
the faster it flows.
Engine oil selection is based on the respective outside temperatures and in accordance with
the SAE classification (viscosity) .The table
show syou which SAE classifications are to be
used. The low-temperature properties of
engine oilsc an be significantly impaired dur-
ing operation due to, for example, ageing or
soot and fuel accretion. It is therefore
strongly recommende dtoobserve regular oil
changes using an approved engine oil with the
appropriate SAE classification. Brake fluid

ture from the air. This results in the boiling
point of the brake flui dlowering. If the boiling
point of the brake flui distoo low,v apour
pockets may form when the brakes are sub-
jected to aheavy load. This would impair brak-
ing efficiency. There is arisk of an accident.
