It is not necessary to change
this factory-installed oil prior to the
recommended normal change pe

more frequently during the break

low quality oils are specifically
not recommended.
Only the use

SE engine oils and proper oil
and filter change intervals assure

NOTE: SAE 5W-20 oils are not recommended for sustained high-speed
driving.
SAE 30 oils may be used at temperatures above 40oP. SAE 5W-30 vis
cosity oil is recommended for all seasons in vehicles normally operated in
Canada.
The proper oil viscosity helps assure good cold and hot starting.
Checking Oil Level
The engine oil should be main
tained at proper level. The best
time to check it
is before operating
the engine
or as the last step in a
47
fuel stop. This will allow the oil ac
