preferred viscosity for your vehicle’s engine (e.g.,
SAE
5W-30 or SAE 1OW-30) see the Index under
Engine OiZ. If your vehicle is equipped with an
Engine Oil-Change Indicator (EOCI)
, the
indicator will show you when to change oil. See
the
Index under Driver Information Center.
2 Chassis Lubrication-Lubricate the transaxle shift
linkage, parking brake cable guides, underbody
contact points and linkage. Lubricate the front and
rear suspension and steering linkage. The
proper fluids and lubricants to use are listed in Section
