However, if you don't have the manual, a good starting point would be to look for a 10W-40 or 15W-40 diesel engine oil that meets the API CF or CF-4 standard (or a later, more modern equivalent like CJ-4 if available). These are common grades for older diesel engines.
Important Considerations:
* Viscosity: The viscosity (like 10W-40) is crucial for proper lubrication at different temperatures. Using the wrong viscosity can damage your engine.
* API Standard: The API standard indicates the oil's performance characteristics. Using oil that doesn't meet the minimum standard can lead to engine wear.
* Manufacturer Recommendations: Always prioritize the manufacturer's recommendations. Even if you find information online, the owner's manual is the ultimate authority.
Before changing your oil, double-check your manual or contact an Aixam specialist or a reputable mechanic to confirm the appropriate oil for your specific vehicle. Using the incorrect oil can cause significant engine damage.
