GENERAL INFORMATION
ENGINE OILS
Health Warning
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result in
the removal of natural fats from the skin, leading to dryness,
irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains
potentially harmful contaminants which may cause skin
cancer. Adequate means of skin protection and washing
facilities must be provided.

Recommended Precautions
The most effective precaution is to adapt working practices
which prevent, as far as practicable, the risk of skin contact
with mineral oils, for example by using enclosed systems for
handling used engine oil and by degreasing components,
where practicable, before handling them.
Other precautions:
• Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particular-
ly used engine oils.
• Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves
where practicable.
• Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants, with
oil.
• Do not put oily rags in pockets, the use of overalls without
pockets will avoid this.
• Do not wear heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated
foot-wear. Overalls must be cleaned regularly and kept
separate from personal clothing.
• Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should
be worn, for example, chemical goggles or face shields; in
addition an eye wash facility should be provided.
• Obtain First Aid treatment immediately for open cuts and
wounds.
• Wash regularly with soap and water to ensure all oil is
removed, especially before meals (skin cleansers and nail
brushes will help). After cleaning, the application of
preparations containing lanolin to replace the natural skin
oils is advised.
• Do not use petrol, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or
solvents for cleaning skin.
• Use barrier creams, applying them before each work
period, to help the removal of oil from the skin after work.
• If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without
delay.

GENERAL INFORMATION «»»

ENGINE OIL COOLER (Diesel-powered vehicles)
The corrugated fin type of engine oil cooler has been adopted. The cooler is installed at the rear of the front bumper.
Cooling air is taken in through the front bumper opening to cool the engine oil.
Oil is circulated from the oil pump throughout the lubrication route to each part to be lubricated. A by-pass route (oil
cooler by-pass vaive) is provided at the engine to assure lubrication of each part of the engine even if for some
unexpected reason there is foreign material (inside the oil cooler) which obstructs oil flow.
Note that this valve senses the engine oil temperature and also controls engine oil circulation to the oil cooler,
thereby making engine warm-up faster.
