Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Choosing Oil Viscosity
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy. Lower viscosity
engine oils can provide better fuel economy; however, higher temperature
weather conditions require higher viscosity engine oils for satisfactory
lubrication.
Using oils of any viscosity other than those viscosities
recommended
could result in engine damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your Vehicle will be
operated in before the next oil change. Then, select the recommended oil viscosity from the following chart. If outside temperatures are not expected to
exceed
38°C (100°F) prior to your next oil change, SF-quality, SAE 5W-30
Energy-Conserving engine oil is the preferred viscosity grade.
FOR BEST FUEL ECONOMY AND COLD STARTING, SELECT THE LOWEST SAE VISCOSITY GRADE OIL FOR THE EXPECTED TEMPERATURE RANGE.

Energy Conserving Oils
It is recommended that you select an oil not only of the proper quality and
viscosity, but also a fuel-saving product. These oils can be found in dealer
service departments, service stations and other retail stores. They are
identified
by words such as: "Energy Conserving," "Energy Saving,"
"Conserves Gasoline,"
"Gas Saving," "Gasoline Saving," "Friction
Reducing," "Improved Gasoline Mileage," "Improved Fuel Economy" Or "Fuel
Saving."
