4. Maintenance Recommended fuel and lubricants 4.4.1 Fuel Make sure the correct fuel is used. The properties of light fuel oil that is only intended for heating do not meet the requirements of modern diesel engines, and cannot be used as fuel. The high pressure pump of the Common Rail system requires the fuel to have sufficient lubricity, because it does not have separate oil lubrication.
4. Maintenance • Use the original container for storage. • Keep the container properly closed and in a cool, well-ventilated area. IMPORTANT: AdBlue/DEF freezes at -11 °C. Take the necessary storage precautions to keep the product from freezing and to ensure the vehicle can be topped up at all times.
4. Maintenance IMPORTANT: If the AdBlue/DEF additive is modified or replaced by another fluid, which does not comply with standard DIN 70070, there is a risk that it will not provide the intended result, and it may damage the engine. 4.4.2 Grease Use proper grease for the lubrication points.
