Lubrication system
IMPORTANT! With a new or reconditioned engine, the oil and oil filters must be changed after 20–50
hours of operation. Use only the recommended grades of oil, see below.
IMPORTANT! Oil change intervals can vary from 100 to 200 hours, depending on oil grade and sulphur
content of the fuel. Note that oil change intervals must never exceed a period of 12 months. If you
want longer oil change intervals than given in the table below, the condition of the oil must be checked by
the oil manufacturers through regular oil testing.

NOTE! Mineral based oil, either fully or semi-synthetic, can be used on condition that it complies with the
quality requirements.
1)
Lowest recommended oil type, engine oil of a higher type can always be used.
When oil quality specifications are joined by “or” either engine oil specification can be used.
When oil quality specifications are joined by “and” the engine oil must fulfill both
requirements.
2)
If sulphur content is >1.0% by weight, use oil with TBN >15.
3)
ACEA E7 has replaced ACEA E5, but if available ACEA E5 can be used.
