Fuel Selection – 2.4L And 3.6L Engine Research Octane Number (RON) of 91 or higher
Fuel Selection – 2.0L Diesel Engine 50 Cetane or higher (Less than 15 ppm Sulfur)
Diesel Fuel Additive – 2.0L Diesel
Engine Additive for diesel with antifreeze and protective action for diesel engines.
(TUTELA DIESEL ART, Contractual Technical Reference N° F601.L06. To be
mixed with the diesel fuel: 25 cc per 10 litres).
* IMPORTANT: Do not top up or mix with fluids with
different specifications.
** For particularly harsh climate conditions, a mixture
of 60%
PARAFLU UP and 40% demineralized water
is recommended. *** Lubricants with ACEA C2 performance as a mini-
mum may be used for Diesel engines in an emergency,
where no original products are available. In such event,
the engine may not provide optimal performance. We
recommend having the lubricant replaced as soon as
possible. Using products with specifications lower than
ILSAC GF-5 for gasoline engines or lower than ACEA
C2 for Diesel engines may cause engine damage not
covered by warranty.
