Engine oils are matched to the requirements of the engines, exhaust purification systems, and fuel quality. Due to the way in which a combus- tion engine works, engine oil always comes into contact with combustion residues and fuel, which has an effect on the ageing process of the oil. The correct engine oil is important for the function and service life of the engine. A special multigrade high-lubricity oil has been filled at the factory and this can normally be used as an all- season oil, except for extreme cold weather.

Since clean water (not distilled water) cannot completely clean the window glass, please choose the appropriate original washer fluid rec- ommended by our company according to the current lowest ambient temperature in the area where the vehicle is used, and make sure to pre- pare a suitable concentration of washer fluid ac- cording to the ratio instructions on the packaging container of the windscreen washer fluid → . Like other parts of the vehicle, the engine oil is also in constant development.

The authorized dealers of our company have mastered the latest development trends and technical data of the ve- hicle oil, and it is recommended that the author- ized dealers of our company should replace the engine oil.  WARNING Do not mix other inappropriate additives into the windscreen washer fluid, otherwise, oil film may be formed on the window glass, affecting the front vision.
