.
Use of unsuitable engine oil will result in piston ring, piston and
cylinder seizure and accelerate surface wear causing increased oil
consumption, lowered output and, finally engine failure. To avoid this,
use the specified engine oil.
1) Engine Oil Selection

TEC
2) Oil Viscosity
Engine oil viscosity affects engine startability, performance, oil
consumption, wear and the potential for seizure, etc. Always ensure
that lubricants with the correct viscosity for the operating temperature
are used. Refer to fig 5.
NOTE
Using a mixture of different brands or quality of oils will adversely affect
the original oil quality; therefore, never mix different brand or different
type oils
.
Do not use API, CA, CB grade and reconstituted engine oil.
Engine damage due to improper maintenance, or using oil of the
improper quality and/or viscosity, is not covered by the warranty.
