NOTICE
Be careful not to drop the engine
oil on the vehicle components.
Avoid overfilling, or the engine
could be damaged.
Check the oil level on the dipstick
once again after adding the oil.
ENGINE OIL SELECTION
Use API grade SJ “Energy Conserving, SL
“Energy Conserving” or ILSAC multigrade
engine oil.
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 5W 30 is the best choice for your
vehicle, for good fuel economy, and
good starting in cold weather.
If you use SAE 10W 30 engine oil in
extremely low temperatures, the engine
may become difficult to start, so SAE
5W 30 engine oil is recommended.
