Engine Oil
Recommended oil
Oil container labels provide important
information.
The quality designation “SG”, “SH”,“
SJ ”, or “ILSAC” must be on the label.
Engine oil viscosity, or thickness, has
an effect on fuel economy and
cold-weather operation (starting and
oil flow). Low-viscosity engine oils
can provide improved fuel ec onomy
and cold-weather performance. But high-temperature weather
conditions require higher-viscosity
engine oils for satisfactory lubrication.
When choosing an oil, consider the
temperature range your vehicle will
operate in before the next oil change.
Then select the recommended
viscosity from this chart.

CAUTION
!
Using oils of viscosity besides
those recommended for specific
temperature ranges could result in
engine damage.Energy conserving oils are
recommended. A chief contribution
they make to fuel economy is reducing
the amount of fuel necessary to
overcome engine friction.

1. Be sure the vehicle is on a level surface.
2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
