[tis an entirely false economy to try to save money by using lower quality oils, which may break down before the next change interval and provide inadequate protection before the end of the term. High oll consumption may also result Engine oil should meet Rover specification RES 22 OL.G4 or the European specification CCMC G4, and have a viscosity band recommended for the local ambient temperature range, as shown in the following chart. ‘Where oils to these standards are not available, reputable brands meeting American specification API SG or SH should be used. Note that the viscosity rating is made up of two numbers; the fist, identified by a'W sulffixis the winter (or low temperature) viscosity grade, and the second number the summer or high temperature viscosity grade. ie. a 20W/50 oll performs like an SAE 20 oil at low temperature and an SAE 50 oll at high temperature.
