Fluids and Lubricants
Note: New engines DO NOT require a running-in period. The engine should be used in a normal work cycle immediately;
glazing of the piston cylinder bores, resulting in excessive oil consumption, could occur if the engine is gently run-in. Under
no circumstances should the engine be allowed to idle for extended periods (e.g. warming-up without load).
