Italian term or phrase:Specifica
Title of an instruction manual followed by the name of the machine on the next line.

Specification XXXX (a number) or "Specification for xxx " (oil for ex.) or Oil spec
Specifica n. ... or Specifica per l'olio

Explanation: even in Italian I would logically write the name of the machine first, and then the specification, so if they chose a different order for whatever reason, I think you should respect it.
I agree with you that specification is the right word.
