ACEA A2/A3 15W40 or 15W50
ACEA A2-96/A3-96 15W40 or 15W50.
Oils of 10-40 and even as low as 0-30 can be used.
10-40 is the most commly used oil.
ACEA A1-98 is the standard oil.
ACEA A1 is the oil for fuel economy in 10W10, 10W40 or 10W-50.
For none EC companies API SH/SJ 15W-40, 15W-50 is the spec you want.
API SJIL SAC GF2 standard
