Additives
!

Do not use any additives in the engine oil.

This could damage the engine.

Engine oil viscosity

Viscosity describes the flow characteristics

of a fluid. If an engine oil has a high viscosity,

this means that it is thick; a low viscosity

means that it is thin.
Select an engine oil with an SAE classification

(viscosity) suitable for the prevailing outside

temperatures. The table shows you which

SAE classifications are to be used. The low-

temperature characteristics of engine oils

can deteriorate significantly, e.g. as a result

of aging, soot and fuel deposits. It is therefore

strongly recommended that you carry out reg-

ular oil changes using an approved engine oil

with the appropriate SAE classification.

Brake fluid

G

WARNING

The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture

from the air. This lowers the boiling point of

the brake fluid. If the boiling point of the brake

fluid is too low, vapor pockets may form in the

brake system when the brakes are applied

hard. This would impair braking efficiency.

There is a risk of an accident.
You should have the brake fluid renewed at

the specified intervals.

Comply with the important safety notes for

service products when handling brake fluid

(

page 391).

The brake fluid change intervals can be found

in the Maintenance Booklet.
