Oil Filter
The numbers in the middle of the API Service label tell
you the oil's SAE viscosity or weighl. Select the oil for
your vehicle according to this chart:
Ambient Temperature
100 F
40c-30 -20 -10
An oil with a viscosity of 5 W - 30 is preferred for
improved fuel economy and year-round protection in
the vehicle. You may use a 10 W - 30 oil if the climate in
your area is limited to the temperature range shown on
the chart.

Some filters have eight numbers (1 to 8) printed on
the surface of the filter.
The following explains the procedure for tightening
filters using these numbers.
l) Make a mark on the cylinder block under the num-
ber that shows at the bottom of the filter when the
rubber seal is seated.
2) Tighten the filter by turning it clockwise seven
numbers from the makes point. For example, if a
mark is made under the number 2 when the rub-
ber seal is seated, the filter should be tightened
until the number 1 comes up to the marked point.
