Lubricant Viscosities

Usage:

65E 1GM

The proper oil viscosity grade is determined by the minimum outside temperature when the machine is started. The proper oil viscosity grade is also determined by the maximum outside temperature while the machine is operated. Use the column that is entitled "Min"on the table in order to determine the oil viscosity grade that is required for starting a cold machine and for operating a cold machine. Use the column that is labelled "Max" on the table to select the oil viscosity grade for operating the machine at the highest temperature that is anticipated. Use the highest viscosity oil that is allowed for the ambient temperature when you start the machine.

Consult your dealer if additional information is needed.

^( 1 )	See your CLAAS dealer for information on machine operation at temperatures under −30°C (−22°F).
^( 2 )	These oils are added at the factory fill for the shipping of the machine.
^( 3 )	These special oils are made with synthetic base stocks. These special oils do not contain polymer viscosity index improvers. The high viscosity index of the synthetic oils provide natural multiviscosity properties.
^( 4 )	Use either HYDO oil or MTO oil.
