*Note: Do not use an engine oil with a viscosity higher than specified as this may cause starting difficulties. Some oil additives can increase the viscosity of the oil and are therefore not recommended for use in these engines.

Engine oil selection


The engine needs oil not only to lubricate friction surfaces and reduce wear, but also to increase power and economy. Currently, the choice of oils is quite wide and allows you to choose the right grade for any engine.

How motor oil works


Friction Reduction: Without lubrication, the rubbing surfaces in the engine will heat up, melt and quickly render the engine unusable. The oil forms a layer that separates the rubbing surfaces, preventing them from wearing out and generating heat.

Hot zone cooling: The temperature inside the engine can exceed 1000°C. Oil, circulating in engine systems, acts as a coolant and transfers heat from heated zones to the sump.


Cleaning the internal surfaces of the engine: The oil washes away combustion products from the inner walls of the cylinders (mostly soot) and takes them to the filter. Only the smallest particles remain in the oil until it is changed.

Tire pressure


Tire pressure (cold):frontBehind
normal load (no more than three people2.1 bar2.1 bar
full load2.4 bar2.8 bar

Note 1: The pressure indicated is for the tires supplied with the vehicle. It may vary depending on the tire brand, so check with the manufacturer or supplier for the correct value.


Note 2: When driving at speeds higher than 160 km/h, tire pressure should be increased. The corresponding values are indicated in the owner's manual supplied with the vehicle.
