6C - Recommendations for lubricants:
6C.1 - Choosing the lubricant
according to the Supplier’s Manual:
During the vehicle use, some oil will have been used to lubricate and will be burnt (consumed) due to the high temperatures.
This ‘burning’ causes the oil to deteriorate and the ‘burnt’ oil contaminates the lubricant. It is therefore important that the 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 - 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.
6C.3 - Lubricant for the chassis:
Lithium based Extreme Pressure 2" grease "LX EP-2" should be applied to the various components.
