’ ~ “.SELECTION OF LUBRICANTS
ENGINE OIL
Engine oil should be used which conform to the requirements
of the API classification “For Service SG” or “For Service
SGKD”, and have the proper SAE grade number for the
expected temperature range.
Caution
Nondetergent or straight mineral oil must never be used.
Energy Conserving Oil
In order to improve fuel economy and conserve energy new,
lower friction engine oils have been developed. These oils are
readily available and can be identified by such labels as “EnergyConserving”,“Energy Saving”,“Improved Fuel Economy”,
etc.
/”SAE
5W-20 Not recommended for sustained
high speed vehicle operation.**SAE
5W-30 may be used for operation in very
cold weather areas where the lowest atmos-
pheric temperature is below
-23°C (-10°F).

A standard symbol appears on the top of oil containers and hasthree district areas for identifying various aspects of the oil.
The top portion will indicate the quality of the oil. The center
portion will show the SAE viscosity grade, such as SAE
IOW-30. “Energy Conserving” shown in the lower portion,
indicates that the oil has fuel-saving capabilities.

COOLANTRelation between Antifreeze Concentration and Specific Gravity
concentration
ExampleThe safe operating temperature is
- 15°C (5°F) when the measured specific gravity is 1.058 at the coolant
temperature of
20°C (68°F).
Cautions1. If the concentration of the coolant is below 30%, the anti-corrosion property will be adversely
affected. In addition, if the concentration is above 60%, both the anti-freeze and engine cooling
properties will decrease, affecting the engine adversely. For these reasons, be sure to maintain theconcentration level within the specified range.
2. Do not use a mixture of different brands of anti-freeze.
