If the sulfur content is > 1.0% by weight, use oil with TBN > 15
2)
For markets outside Europe, API: CG-4 and CH-4 can be used instead of ACEA: E3.
NOTE! Mineral based oil, either fully or semi-synthetic, can be used on condition that it complies with the quality
requirements above.
NOTE! For 6 and 7-liter engines equipped with low profile type oil pans, the oil change interval must be halved.
