LUBRICATION PRACTICE
Use a high quality oil of the correct viscosity range and service classification in the engine during maintenance and
when topping up. The use of oil not to the correct specification can lead to high oil and fuel consumption and
ultimately to damaged components.
Oil to the correct specification contains additives which disperse the corrosive acids formed by combustion and
prevent the formation of sludge which can block the oilways. Additional oil additives should not be used. Always
adhere to the recommended servicing intervals.
WARNING: Many liquids and other substances used in motor vehicles are poisonous. They must
not be consumed and must be kept away from open wounds. These substances, among others,
include anti-freeze windscreen washer additives, lubricants and various adhesives.

LIMIT
V8 Engine One part anti-freeze
Diesel Engine One part water 50%
Complete protection-33°F
Vehicle may be driven away immediately from cold - 36°C
Safe limit protection-41°C
Coolant in mushy state. Engine may be started and driven away after warm-up
period-42°F
Lower protection-47°C

starting engine-53°F
CAUTION: Anti-freeze content must never be allowed to fall below 25% otherwise damage to the
engine is liable to occur. Also, anti-freeze content should not exceed 60% as this will greatly
reduce the cooling effect of the coolant.

INFORMATION FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Catalyst vehicles
Vehicles equipped with catalytic converter are designed to use ONLY unleaded fuel. Unleaded fuel must be used
for the emission control system to operate properly. Its use will also reduce spark plug fouling, exhaust system
corrosion and engine oil deterioration.
Using fuel that contains lead will result in damage to the emission control system and could result in loss of
warranty coverage. The effectiveness of the catalysts in the catalytic converters will be seriously impaired if leaded
fuel is used. The vehicle is equipped with an electronic fuel injection system, which includes two oxygen sensors.
Leaded fuel will damage the sensors, and will deteriorate the emission control system.
Regulations require that pumps delivering unleaded fuel be labelledUNLEADED.Only these pumps have nozzles
which fit the filler neck of the vehicle fuel tank.
RECOMMENDED FUEL
Petrol engines
- with catalytic converter unleaded only, 95 RON (USA 90 CLC or AKI)..........................................
- non catalytic, 9.35:1 compression ratio leaded 97 RON/unleaded 95 RON.................
- non catalytic, 8.13:1 compression ratio leaded 90 RON/unleaded 95 RON.................
- Australia minimum 91 RON unleaded................................................................
Diesel engines
- 300Tdi Diesel fuel oil, distillate, diesel fuel, automotive gas or...................................................................
Derv to British standard 2869, (1983) class A1 or A2.
Using fuel with an octane rating lower than stated above could seriously impair vehicle performance.
CAUTION: Do not use oxygenated fuels such as blends of methanol/gasoline or ethanol/gasoline
(e.g. Gasohol). Take care not to spill fuel during refuelling.

The electronic ignition employs a Lucas 35DLM8
distributor.
Internal operating parts of distributor are pre-set at
factory and do not normally require resetting.
Adjustments should only be made if unit is known to
be faulty or damaged. Distributor maintenance
consists of following items.
1.Clean outer surfaces of distributor cap to remove
dirt, grease etc.
2.Unclip cap, check cap for cracks.
3.Wipe inside cap with lint free cloth.
4.Check rotor arm, cap and flash shield tracking.
DO NOT DISTURB clear plastic insulating
cover (flash shield) which protects magnetic
pick-up module.

MAINTENANCE Clean, adjust and renew
1.Take great care when fitting spark plugs not to
cross-thread plug, otherwise costly damage to
cylinder head will result.
2.Clean or replace spark plugs as applicable.
3.It is essential that correct type of spark plugs are
fitted.
4.Incorrect grade of plugs may lead to piston
overheating and engine failure.
Remove
5.Disconnect battery negative lead. Remove H.T.
leads from spark plugs.
6.Remove plugs and washers.
Clean spark plugs
7.Fit plug into 14 mm adaptor of approved spark
plug cleaning equipment. Wobble plug in adaptor
with circular motion for three or four seconds
only with abrasive blast in operation. Important:
Excessive abrasive blasting will lead to severe
erosion of insulator nose. Continue to wobble
plug in adaptor with air only, blasting plug for a
minimum of 30 seconds: this will remove
abrasive grit from plug cavity.
8.Wire-brush plug threads; open gap slightly, and
vigorously file electrode sparking surfaces using
a point file. This operation is important to ensure
correct plug operation by squaring electrode
sparking surfaces.
9.Set electrode gap to recommended clearance.
10.Shows dirty plug.
11.Filing plug electrodes.
12.Clean plug, set to correct gap.
13.Test plugs in accordance with plug cleaning
machine manufacturers recommendations.
14.Satisfactory plugs can be refitted.
15.When pushing leads onto plugs, ensure that
shrouds are firmly seated.
Fitting H.T. leads
16.Ensure replacement H.T. leads are correctly
refitted as illustrated.
Failure to observe this instruction may result in
cross-firing between two closely fitted leads
which are consecutive in firing order.
