6C - Recommendations for lubricants:
6C.1 - Choosing the lubricant
according to the Supplier’s Engine Manual:
During the engine’s use, some engine oil used to lubricate the pistons will be burnt (consumed) due to the high temperatures.
This ‘burning’ causes the engine oil to deteriorate and the ‘burnt’ oil contaminates the lubricant. It is therefore important that
the engine oil is replaced after a certain period. Such deterioration depends on the operating conditions as well as the quality
of the oil used. So, the time interval for replacing the oil is dependent upon usage and environment.
6C.2 - Gear lubricant:
Allison Transmissions:
Lubricant used from factory on all Allison product is Transynd – it is recommended this be
used to top up and be replaced with the same product every 120 000km
ZF Transmissions:
Lubricant used for all ZF transmissions from the factory is Dexron 3 which requires replacing
every 30 000km.
NOTE: ALWAYS refer to the transmission Supplier for up to date recommendations on lubricants and service
intervals.
6C.3 - Hydraulic oil for power steering:
Applied standard: The Genera Allison C-3; The DEXRON-II hydraulic transmission oil should be chosen when the power
steering mechanism operates under a temperature lower than 10°C; If above 10°C then choose C-3 / 10W. The C-3/10W
grade oil is all-purpose oil used in a variety of conditions; The C-3 / 30 grade oil is all-purpose oil for above freezing
environments.
