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.
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.
