Operating Media 4.1 Lube Oil © 30 298 0 Only with engine preheating As the viscosity of the lube oil is dependent on temperature, the choice of SAE grade should be governed by the ambient tempera- ture prevailing at the engine operating site. Optimum operating behaviour will be attained if you take the accompanying oil viscosity diagram as a guide. Should the temperature fall temporarily be- low the limits of SAE grade selected, cold starting may be affected but the engine will not be damaged. In order to keep wear to a minimum, do not exceed application limits for extended periods of time. Oil changes dictated by the seasons can be avoided by using multi-grade lube oils.
Multi- grade oils, particularly light-flowing oils, also reduce fuel consumption. 4.1.1 Quality 4.1.2 Viscosity Lube oils are differentiated according to their performance and quality class. In common use are specifications named after the API (American Petroleum Institute) and ACEA (European Engine Oil Sequences). It is recommended to operate the engines with Deutz Oil TLX10W-40FE Europe . If this is not available, use the appropriate oil as described above. * Oil change intervals, see 6.1.1 Oil capacities, see 9.1 Approved API Oils: At least: CF-4 Approved ACEA Oils: At least: E1-96 © 2001 4 Only with engine preheating © 30 298 0 © 30 298 0
