RECOMMENDED FLUIDS, LUBRICANTS AND DIESEL FUELS

Recommended Fluids, Lubricants and Diesel Fuels

In order to obtain maximum performance and longest service life from ISUZU vehicles, it is very important to select
and use correctly best lubricants and diesel fuels.
When lubricating, be sure to use ISUZU genuine lubricants or recommended lubricants listed below, according to the
maintenance schedule for each vehicle model.
The lubrication intervals in the maintenance schedule and the coverage and period of new vehicle warranty are based
on the use of ISUZU genuine lubricants or recommended lubricants as given in the chart which will serve as a guide
for selecting lubricants of proper brand name.
